The King: Elvis Presley

Welcome to Graceland. Put on your blue suede shoes and enjoy!

welcome to the page dedicated to one of the most important singers in the history of music.

No one could argue that he was not the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level. Viewed in cold sales figures, his impact was phenomenal. Dozens upon dozens of international smashes from the mid-'50s to the mid-'70s, as well as the steady sales of his catalog and reissues since his death in 1977, may make him the single highest-selling performer in history
