By far Elvis Presley is my all time favorite artist. His work in music and film will forever live on.
In 1954 he began his singing career
with Sun Records in Memphis, his recording contract was then sold to RCA
records in 1955 and then just one short year later he was an international
sensation!
His new and unique sound captured
the hearts of millions as he combined his many musical influences and as he
challenged the social and racial barriers of his time.
Not only was Elvis a successful
musician he was an actor as well. He
starred in 33 films and had many television appearances. It was even stated in
one of his interviews that throughout his childhood he wanted to be an actor
more than anything. So congrats Elvis! You did it!
This is an example for Elvis’ work called
Hound Dog. In my opinion it is one of his best songs, although there are many
more.

This is just one link to the rock and roll hall
of fame for Elvis but there are plenty more to look at. If you go the search
bar and type in Elvis Presley you will be able to find information for days! I
did this and thought it was really fun and very informative.

The most amazing website you will ever come
across in your entire life. This website literally has
everything you would want to know about the King. It has anything
from his biography to photos and quotes. There is even an
online gift shop, if you feel so inclined.
I hope you all will enjoy the wonderful human being that is Elvis Presley as much as I do. And although he may not be around to bless us with his talent anymore he will forever live on in many people's hearts.
