Elvis Aaron Presley
(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977)
was an
American
singer and actor.
Referred to as the
"King of Rock and Roll",
he is widely regarded
as one of the most
culturally significant figures
of the 20th century.
Presley's energetic
and
sexually provocative
performance style,
combined with a
mix of influences
across color lines
during a
transformative era
in race relations,
brought both
great success
and
initial controversy.
