Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), was an American singer, musician and actor. He is a cultural icon, often known simply as Elvis; also "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", or simply "The King".
Presley began his career as one of the first performers of rockabilly, an uptempo fusion of country and rhythm and blues with a strong back beat. His novel versions of existing songs, mixing 'black' and 'white' sounds, made him popular - and controversial - as did his uninhibited stage and television performances. He recorded songs in the rock and roll genre, with tracks like "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog" later embodying the style. Presley had a versatile voice and had unusually wide success encompassing other genres, including gospel, blues, ballads and pop. To date, he is the only performer to have been inducted into three separate music 'Halls of Fame'.
In the sixties, Presley made the majority of his thirty-three movies - mainly poorly reviewed musicals. 1968 saw a critically-acclaimed return to live music, followed by performances in Las Vegas and across the U.S. Throughout his career, he set records for concert attendance, television ratings and recordings sales. He is one of the best-selling and most influential artists in the history of popular music. His death at age 42 shocked his fans worldwide.

How could you not love Elvis.
Elvis is, and always will be the King of Rock’n’Roll. There has never been anyone like him, and never will be. He could take any song ever written and make it his own.
i like evils but not really only some songs
E-l-v-i-s
Hey, I think the king is great, but there are several songs of his that even I don't care for.
Long live the king!!
name one song that wasnt good
Aha! I didn't say that the songs weren't good, I merely said that I didn't care for them, big difference. But, off the top of my head, I can't think of one of the songs I don't care for. I must have heard a few of them on "Rockin'" Ron's Elvis show on Sunday morning!
The only singer who could make his voice bleed!
So true, so true.
And then…30 years pass…and he still out there!!
Thirty years is forever... You'll always be the King!!
