Elvis Presley (1935-1977) was one of the most signifi cant cultural icons of the 20th century. He released his fi rst single Heartbreak Hotel in 1956 which became an American number one hit. A series of successful television appearances & chart topping records followed, turning him into the leading fi gure of rock and roll. Presley made his fi lm debut in the 1956 musical western Love Me Tender and proceeded to dedicate most of the 1960s to making more Hollywood fi lms & soundtracks. In 1968 after a seven year hiatus from live performances he returned with the television comeback special Elvis followed by his successful Las Vegas residency. Presley died suddenly at his Graceland estate when he was only 42 after suffering from years of prescription drug abuse. He remains the bestselling solo music artist of all time and still holds multiple records including the most RIAA certifi ed gold & platinum albums, the most albums charted on the Billboard 200, and the most number one albums & singles on the UK Charts.
