The “King of Rock and Roll”
Elvis Aaron Presley was born in Tupelo Mississippi on January 8, 1935. His twin brother was still born leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. Elvis's music influences were pop and country, church gospel and black rhythm and blues. Discovered in 1954 by Sun Records of Memphis as a truck driver, he was an instant success worldwide. RCA Victor bought his contract soon afterwards, creating a talent sensation that can hardly be equaled in music history.
Elvis's charisma, good looks, along with the way he performed with gyrating hips and a sexy posture caused a phenomenal attraction by young people in the 50’s. The unique sound and style of his songs ushered in a whole new era of American music. He starred in 33 films, appeared in countless television performances, staged record breaking concerts and sold over one billion records more than any other recording artist. His worldwide popularity garnered him the title “the King of Rock and Roll,” and earned gold, platinum, and multi platinum awards for 150 albums and singles and received fourteen Grammy nominations winning three.
