Kiss - Childhoods End

Since 1966, the decline in popularity of Presley could not hide from anyone. Against the background of the performing artists Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Donovan, or the Beards, Elvis looked like some kind of dinosaur; if it were not for the aura of the great priest of rock and roll, still associated with his name and bringing him respect from the younger generation, his name would probably become history completely. Due to the mediocrity of the songs that supplied him, the doors of the American “Hot Twenty” were finally closed to him, and only thanks to the aggressive commercial policy of ARC “Tell Me Why” (“Tell Me Why”) and “Frankie and Johnny” still managed to cross the threshold of half a million sold copies. Locked in his problems, Presley completely lost touch with reality and was hardly awarethat his most ardent admirers, the Beatles, were about to take his throne.
