Elvis Presley was a cultural icon who changed music history, boosting rock music in the 50s. Elvis earned the title of King of Rock and became a worldwide idol, something totally unprecedented for a musician.
The singer was one of the leading pioneers of rockabilly, one of the first rock and roll sub-genres, which appeared in the 1950s. With his unusual style, a big top on his head, and shiny clothes, Elvis showed the world an unprecedented musical and cultural aesthetic.

Throughout his amazing career, Presley helped popularize rock music in the USA. He also won three Grammys for his gospel recordings. A major musical force, Elvis had 18 #1 singles, including "Don't Be Cruel," "Good Luck Charm," and "Suspicious Minds," as well as countless gold and platinum albums.
He was one of the first artists to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Elvis is still recognized for his contributions to various genres of music, especially rock, country, and gospel.
In 1998, Presley was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Three years later, the same was done for the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Since his death, Elvis has remained one of the biggest pop symbols in the world.
Over the years, several films and documentaries have explored the enigmatic artist, including a 2005 TV miniseries starring Jonathan Rhys-Myers in the role of the singer. His mansion in Memphis, Graceland, is open to the public, and fans from all over the world visit it annually, especially on the anniversary of his death.
