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.

Hi Steve,
What a fantastic interview Steve. Once again we get to hear how compassionate Elvis was to everybody and gave everyone the same respect.
Can you imagine having breakfast with Gladys yummy 😋 nice to have an insite into Elvis and Gladys relationships and how much he worshiped his mother giving her a big hug and kiss everytime she bought more food inn. Ha ha thanks Steve, one of my favourites interviews you have done so far Steve xxx 💝
Bonnie Brown
This is such a great interview. I love the story about Gladys cooking breakfast for them. Then Allyson getting to sit on Elvis lap and eat breakfast when she was a baby. I could picture all of that happening too. I didn't know about the book either. I loved all the stories very much. Thank you Allyson and thank you Steve for sharing this with us. ❤👍

Thanks Charles
Nancy Henriksen
Wonderful interview. I loved the photos. Elvis was wearing the blue velvet shirt Natalie Wood gifted him in the photo of himself, Natalie and Nick at Nick’s movie premiere, for an earlier live performance. 💕
Allyson Adams
Thank you Steve for asking me to do this interview. I hope the Elvis fans enjoy the ride!
Allyson Adams
@k Tloz I have an old time photo studio now in Virginia City, The Montana Picture Gallery. The truth is that Elvis simply sent a card that read "E.P." which was my Dad's nickname for Elvis. I heard that Elvis wanted to attend but knew that it would be a circus if he did. I also learned some interesting facts about Elvis' reaction to my father's death from one of Elvis' friends at the time. He was very upset and also made his will that day.
k Tloz
Love the old town in Virgina city, been there 2x and took videos. Supposedly Elvis wrote a letter for ur fathers funeral, do u have that letter? Also some say Elvis did show up at ur fathers funeral disguised? Any truth to this?
