Elvis Presley’s Impact on Popular Music

Elvis Presley 1935 - 1977 Introduction Music researchers seem to form two extremes in their placement of Elvis Presley in the history of popular music.

These “comfort stations” were essentially military-controlled brothels where young women (mostly Korean) who had been kidnapped were forced to work as prostitutes for Japanese soldiers (“Timeline of Human Trafficking”).
