Elvis Presley
American singer, 1935-1977
"Elvis Aaron Presley, also known simply as Elvis, was an American singer and actor. Regarded as 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"". Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines, made him enormously popular—and controversial. Presley is the best-selling solo music artist of all time, successful in many genres, including pop, country, R&B and gospel."
