Elvis Aaron Presley was, and still is, 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".
After recording that song “My Happiness” in 1953, Elvis received a call from local guitarist Scotty Moore and bass player Bill Black. Elvis agreed to meet them at Memphis Recording Service for a rehearsal session with Sun Records producer Sam Phillips. |
Sam wasn’t exactly happy with the music they were all making, so he told them all to “take 5” (or take a break). During the break, Elvis was just playing around and started singing a sped-up version of Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup’s “That’s All Right.” Scotty and Bill quickly joined in and Sam Phillips finally heard what he had been looking for. He recorded their version of “That’s All Right” as Elvis’ first single.

Elvis was known for the way he moved his hips, curled his lips and flashed those beautiful blue eyes. But, not everyone appreciated these star qualities in him.
In 1956, Elvis performed on a show called The Milton Berle Show. This was his second appearance on the show. This time, however, he changed up his moves, and the way he sang his song. |
