Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate, just 42 years of age.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

Are You Lonesome Tonight%3F
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Are You Lonesome Tonight
Performer：Elvis Presley & The Jordanaires
Composer ：Roy Yurk
Lyricist ：Lou Handman
Are You Lonesome Tonight
Do You Miss Me Tonight
Are You Sorry We Drifted Apart
Does Your Memory Stray
To A Brighter Summer Day
When I Kissed You And Called You Sweetheart
Do The Chairs In Your Parlor Seem Empty And Bare
Do You Gaze At Your Doorstep And Picture Me There
* Is Your Heart Filled With Pain
Shall I Come Back Again
Tell Me Dear, Are You Lonesome Tonight *
I Wonder If You're Lonesome Tonight
You Know, Someone Said That The World's A Stage
And Each Must Play A Part
Fate Had Me Playing In Love With You As My Sweetheart
Act One Was When We Met
I Loved You At First Glance
You Read Your Line So Cleverly And Never Missed A Cue
Then Came Act Two
You Seemed To Change, You Acted Strange
And Why I've Never Known
Honey, You Lied When You Said You Loved Me
And I Had No Cause To Doubt You
But I'd Rather Go On Hearing Your Lies
Than To Go On Living Without You
Now The Stage Is Bare And I'm Standing There
With Emptiness All Around
And If You Won't Come Back To Me
Then They Can Bring The Curtain Down
(Repeat *)
