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.

When you walk through a storm
When you face difficult times in life
Hold your head up high
Stay strong and confident
And don't be afraid
Do not let fear overpower you
Of the dark
Of the unknown or uncertain
At the end of a storm
After the tough times are over
Is a golden sky
Lies the light of hope and better times

With a pleasant tune and encouraging words
Of a lark
Of a bird that symbolizes happiness and freedom

Though your dreams be tossed
Even when your aspirations are uncertain or unclear
And blown
And seemingly out of reach
Walk on, walk on
Keep striving
With hope in your heart
With the belief that things can get better
And you'll never walk alone
You will always have support and guidance
You'll never
You will not be left to face challenges on your own
Ever walk alone
As companionship, love, and support will always surround you
Walk on, walk on
Keep persevering
With hope in your heart
With the belief that a brighter future awaits
And you'll never walk alone
You will always have someone by your side
