The lightless elevator swayed back and forth as it ascended, turning the boy's stomach sour with nausea a smell like burnt oil invaded his senses, making him feel worse. Harsh sounds of chains and pulleys, like the workings of an ancient steel factory, echoed through the room, bouncing off the walls with a hollow, tinny whine. With another jolt, the room jerked upward like an old lift in a mine shaft. Sinking to the floor, he pulled his legs up tight against his body, hoping his eyes would soon adjust to the darkness. His back struck a hard metal wall he slid along it until he hit the corner of the room. ![]() He fell down at the sudden movement and shuffled backward on his hands and feet, drops of sweat beading on his forehead despite the cool air. Metal ground against metal a lurching shudder shook the floor beneath him. He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air. ![]()

In 1994, this distinction may have been somewhat novel-but in 2013, now that singing competition shows have dominated U.S. However, Davis also is quick to clarify that Elvis was no impersonator. In the essay reproduced below, Francis Davis, a jazz critic for The Village Voice and a contributing editor for The Atlantic, argues that Elvis was a mimic, emulating the styles of his favorite singers and skillfully weaving them together. In October 1994, The Atlantic published this tribute to Elvis. Simultaneously, it was country, blues, soul, and a little magic dash of something else entirely new. His sound defied the categories that we'd previously used to classify music. ![]() But here we are, 36 years later, still celebrating the man now regarded as the King of Rock and Roll.
