Then ask the Ss to report some information about Elvis Presley. Detailed information about Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley is the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. He rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his manding voice and charismatic stage presence. In the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: Presleys career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music. Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935, and grew up surrounded by gospel music of the Pentecostal church. In 1948 the family moved to Memphis, where he was exposed to blues and jazz on Beale Street. After graduating from high school in 1953, an 18-year-old Presley visited the Memphis Recording Service - also the home of Sun Records - to record his voice. Owner/producer Sam Phillips was struck by the plaintive emotion in Presleys vocals and subsequently teamed him with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black. In July 1954 the trio worked up Thats All Right and Blue Moon of Kentucky - blues and country songs, respectively - in a crackling, uptempo style that stands as the blueprint for rock and roll. After five groundbreaking singles, Presleys contract was sold to RCA Records and his career quickly took off. I Forgot to Remember to Forget - his last single for Sun and first for RCA - went to #1 on the country charts. Heartbreak Hotel, a haunting ballad, became his first across-the-board hit, holding down the top spot for eight weeks. Presleys hip-shaking performances on a series of TV variety shows, including Ed Sullivans, generated hysteria and controversy. From blistering rockers to aching balladry, Presley captivated and liberated the teenage audience. His historic string of hits in 1956 and ?7 included Dont Be Cruel, Hound Dog, Love Me Tender, All Shook Up and Jailhouse Rock. Presleys career momentum was interrupted by a two-year Army stint in Germany, where he met his future wife, Priscilla. For much of the Sixties, he oupied himself with movie-making and soundtrack-recording. His albums of sacred songs, such as How Great Thou Art, stand out from this otherwise fallow period. Presleys standing as a rock and roller was rekindled with an electrifying TV special, simply titled Elvis and broadcast on December 3, 1968. He followed this mid-career renaissance with some of the most mature and satisfying work of his career. Recording in Memphis, he cut such classic tracks as In the Ghetto, Suspicious Minds and Kentucky Rain with the soulful, down-home musicians at American Studio. If the Fifties were devoted to rock and roll and the Sixties to movies, the Seventies represent the performing chapter in Presleys career. He toured constantly, performing to capacity crowds around the country until his death. Presley died of a heart attack at Graceland, his Memphis mansion, on August 16, 1977. He was 42 years old. How big was Elvis? Statistically, he holds records for the most Top Forty hits (107), the most Top Ten hits (38), the most consecutive #1 hits (10) and the most weeks at #1 (80). As far as his stature as a cultural icon, which continues to grow even in death, writer Lester Bangs said it best: I can guarantee you one thing - we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on Elvis. Inductee timeline January 8, 1935 Elvis Aron Presley is born to Gladys and Vernon Presley in a two-room cabin on North Saltillo Road in East Tupelo, Mississippi.
