Born 8 January 1935 · Tupelo, Mississippi, USA · died 16 August 1977

Elvis Aaron Presley, or simply Elvis, was an American businessman, entrepreneur, singer and actor. Dubbed the "King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. 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.
