One of the most popular American singers of 20th century was Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley made the music called rock‘n’roll popular around the world. He sold millions of records and made many successful films， and he helped change the direction of popular music in 1960’s. Elvis Presley was born in 1935 in a small town called Tupelo， in Mississippi in the southern United States； he came from a very poor family. His parents were simply country people who often took Elvis to church. At church he learned to sing， and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.

When he was a school boy， Elvis moved to the town of Memphis in Tennessee. He attended high school in Memphis， but he was not a very good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is popular in Tennessee. The style is called country and western.

In 1955 in Memphis he recorded some country and western songs for his mother’s birthday. And the people at the recording studio liked Elvis’s singing and music.

Country music is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love， sadness， good times， and bad times. It tells real—life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more complex， it is good to listen to some music about ordinary people.

Country music， sometimes called country—western， comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern Unite States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the west. The singers usually play the guitars， and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. At first city people said country music was low class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War II， thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps（軍營）in the South. They learned country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.

Today country music is also popular everywhere in the United States and Canada—in small towns and in New York City， among black and white， and among educated and uneducated people. About 1，200 radio stations broadcast（播放）country music twenty—four hours a day. English stars sing it in British English， and people in other countries sing it in their own languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor southerners is now popular all over the world.
