Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an

American singer, musician, and actor. One of the most significant

cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the

King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King".

Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley and his family moved to Memphis,

Tennessee when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in

1954, when he started to work with Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun

Records. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black,

Presley was an early popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-

driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. RCA Victor

acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who was

to manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA

single, "Heartbreak Hotel", released in January 1956, was a number-one

hit in the US. He became the leading figure of rock and roll after a

series of network television appearances and chart-topping records. His

energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance

style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color

lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made

him enormously popular—and controversial.
