"The King of Rock and Roll", Elvis Aaron Presley, was born on January 8, 1935 and passed away on August 16, 1977. He was an American singer and actor and has sold more than 500 million records worldwide. He is the best-selling solo music artist of all time according to Guinness World Records. Presley managed to be successful in many genres including pop, country, gospel, R&B and contemporary. He holds several records including the most RIAA certified gold and platinum albums and has been inducted into several halls of fame. His first commercial single was in 1954: "That's All Right" (see below) I was only 6 at the time and never really got into his music very much. I am more of a 60's and 70's fan. Are you and Elvis fan? What is your favorite song? Do you have a favorite movie? Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons

I like some of his songs, but he is not my favorite singer and I did not really like his movies.

@JimBo452020 Hi Jim, I noticed you deleted all your discussions. I agree about his movies, I watched a couple when I was vacationing at my granny house, but I did not like at all.

@LindaOHio - His movies were not very popular outside the United States, may be in South America, but not here in Europe.

@marguicha Surprisingly, my mother liked him too. At least, I thought it was surprising. She was pretty conservative.

I can't possibly begin to think of a favorite. I loved everything he sang. I was 7 when he was on television. Can't remember what show, and mom being a big fan, we watched him sing and was only allowed to see him from the chest as back then, they couldn't show his gyrating while he danced on TV. It was considered not appropriate for people to see on there. In 1962 when I met my first husband, all the girls we knew tried to take him from me because he looked like Elvis and danced like him people said

@LindaOHio I know I liked some of Elvis’s songs better but I can’t remember. There were so many good rock and rollers that I liked from that eara. I enjoyed them all. I think Rod Stewart singing Maggie was best.

Not my favorite give him mad props in how he changed some things. Cannot be a hater on that. Hard to see one person make that much change in a whole industry these days. I have much respect there.
