Many people believe that Elvis is still alive. This may not necessarily mean alive and walking around, but alive in their hearts, on their stereos and in their minds. Known as the king of rock and roll, Elvis is still firmly in the heart of everything rock and roll.
Born in 1935 into humble beginnings, Elvis and his family had no idea how he would change the world and the music that was in it. He began his singing career in 1954 and went on to change the face and the sound of music forever. People loved him, people still love him and many want to be able to emulate just a little bit of his worldwide success.
A mix between gospel, country and pop, Elvis created some of the most memorable songs ever. Elvis was also a movie star, putting his name in every household in the world. He has sold more records than any other artist, alive or dead, and still continues to dominate the selling charts. He made history in so many areas, such as selling records, combining songs and movies, sell out performances and creating hysteria in women and men all over the world.
Millions of people flock to Graceland to see where he lived, breathed and created many famous songs that still ring out over the airwaves today. His death in 1977 was considered untimely and devastated a world as the king lost his life to heart failure. Many people still consider his death to be a conspiracy of some sort.
Elvis was and still is very much a legend.
