Alice Cooper - Wicked Young Man

Rev. Hamill delivered a sermon on hope; the pastor of the Assembly of God’s Church traced the life of the Presley family from the moment they arrived in Memphis ten years ago, and his ringing voice, speech full of allegories, met the aspirations of a family accustomed to expressive worship. Here was far from the traditional restraint of the northern Puritans; Elvis's desperation in particular astounded everyone present. He nearly lost consciousness several times, then went up to his mother, kissed her forehead and promised to give up money and a career, if only she would come to life. Then he threw himself into the arms of James Blackwood, reminding him of a touching farewell ceremony four years ago, in the Ellis Hall, after the tragic death of two members of the quartet.
