The king of rock and
roll aka Elvis Presley is one of the best rockers of his time. Even though he
lived to 42 he still was one of the greatest rockers. He started at a very
young age loving music; he got his first guitar when he was only 10 years old!
His first musical success was when he was in high school when he won his talent
show in at Humes High School in Memphis. In 1954 Elvis Presley recorded his first single that’s all right.
Even though Elvis was a great singer he only got half famous for that the other
half of his fame from his dance moves and good looks. He danced by provocative
gyrating hips and that made the ladies go crazy for him! In 1955 Elvis Presley
made it big when he got his song “Heartbreak Hotel” number one on the charts of
the music billboard chart. After he made in big with his songs and provocative
songs moves he was all over everything! He was on the radio all the time, also
on the TV and on the silver screen. Elvis Presley started in his first film in
1965 and the movie was Love Me tender and it was a huge hit at the box office.
After that though he was drafted and had to go to the military for a year and a half in Germany. After
coming back from the military Elvis didn’t miss a beat with his song writing.
His first song he wrote when he got was
blue Hawaii and many more songs after that but I would have to say that
Elvis Presley best song ever song hound dog. But all great musical artists hit
a low in his career and died at the
young age of 42 because his prescription
drug problem that no one helped him with. Imagine if Elvis would have lived a full life how
many more great sounds he would have written and how many more people he would
have touched with his music and his provocative dancing.
