Elvis Aaron Presley
(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), also known simply as
Elvis
, was an American singer, musician and actor. He is regarded as
one of the most significant cultural icons
of the 20th century and is often referred to as the "
King of Rock and Roll
". His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a
transformative era in race relations
, led him to both great success and
initial controversy
.
Presley was born in
Tupelo, Mississippi
, and relocated to
Memphis, Tennessee
with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at
Sun Records
with producer
Sam Phillips
, who wanted to bring the sound of
African-American music
to a wider audience. Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist
Scotty Moore
and bassist
Bill Black
, was a pioneer of
rockabilly
, an up-tempo,
backbeat
-driven fusion of
country music
and
rhythm and blues
. In 1955, drummer
D. J. Fontana
joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and
RCA Victor
acquired his contract in a deal arranged by
Colonel Tom Parker
, who would manage him for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "
Heartbreak Hotel
", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of
rock and roll
.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in
Love Me Tender
. Drafted into
military service in 1958
, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts, however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special
Elvis
, which led to an extended
Las Vegas
concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world,
Aloha from Hawaii
. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his
Graceland
estate at the age of 42.
With his rise from poverty to significant fame, Presley's success seemed to epitomize the
American Dream
. He is the
best-selling solo music artist of all time
, and was commercially successful in many genres, including
pop
, country,
R&B
,
adult contemporary
, and
gospel
. He won three
Grammy Awards
, received the
Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award
at age 36, and has been inducted into
multiple music halls of fame
. Presley holds several records; the most
RIAA
certified
gold
and platinum albums, the most albums charted on the
Billboard
200
, and the most number-one albums by a solo artist on the
UK Albums Chart
and the most number-one singles by any act on the
UK Singles Chart
. In 2018, Presley was posthumously awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom
by
Donald Trump
.
