Elvis Presley and Rock 'n' Roll?

How did Elvis and the start of this music genre in the 1960s and on affect the people of that time and how does it connect to today?

Your opinions are welcome, this is kind of a survey :)

    When Elvis first started out, IMO, he was somewhat of a rebel because of the way he moved when he sang; swinging those hips. When he sang on the Ed Sullivan show, the cameras would only show him from the waste-down. It was a wholesome show and they didn't want it tarnished by such suggestive moves! Girls thought he was sexy.

    I think he started a revolution, giving freedom to performers to sing and move the way they wanted to and it continues today.
