Elvis Receives W. C. Handy Award
In 1984, Elvis received the W. C. Handy Award from the Blues Foundation for his role in “keeping the blues alive in his music – rock ‘n’ roll.” Presley’s own style of music drew heavily on the blues music he heard in the clubs on Memphis’s Beale Street.
The award was named for W.C. Handy, who is known as the “Father of the Blues.” The first award was given in 1980 and has since been known as the most important honor bestowed on blues musicians and songwriter.
