Elvis In Harlem
<\/u><\/span><\/strong>
It took a white hep cat singing rhythm and blues to launch rock n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 roll into the mainstream, but Elvis didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come out of nowhere. His R&B; influences run deep. Matt The Cat brings Elvis\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 influences to the surface on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Elvis In Harlem\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as we commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the death of the King Of Rock n\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Roll. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll hear the original R&B; versions of the songs that Elvis made famous as well as rare interview footage of Elvis on his musical influences. Before he was King Of Memphis, Elvis WAS \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Harlem\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n
