Elvis Presley is still regarded by many as one of the most important cultural icons in modern history. During his three-decade-long career, The King dominated music, film, television, fashion and American culture.

Born on January 8^th, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis Presley came from very humble beginnings. By the time Elvis entered his early 20’s he was quickly becoming a cultural icon. At the time of his death at 42 in 1977 Elvis had established himself as arguably the biggest name in popular music history and his influence is still felt today.

It was in 1955 that Elvis Presley’s career spiked to the next level with the release Heartbreak Hotel, his first number one hit on US radio charts. Elvis had it all and fans were drawn to his unusual music style, gyrating hips and movie star looks. It was during this time that Paramount Pictures signed the young star to a movie contract. Elvis soon found a home in American living rooms by appearing on top rated television shows of the time including his famous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Nothing could slow the King down in the 1950’s, not even a draft notice that sent him overseas to serve in Germany for about a year and a half. Elvis combined his music with film in such hits as GI Blues, Blue Hawaii, Girls! Girls! Girls! and Viva Las Vegas.

Elvis fought back against criticisms that his popularity was weakening by launching widely successful TV specials to end the 1960’s. Audiences were especially impressed by his 1968 TV special often referred to by fans as the ’68 Comeback’ show. Fans were memorized by Presley’s talents as a vocalist and guitarist.

Drug and health issues haunted Elvis through the 1960’s in 1970’s. A growing addiction to pain killers and a constant battle against weight gain hurt Elvis both personally and professionally. His destructive lifestyle and preference for excess caused him multiple hospital visits. The worst was feared by many close to Elvis by the time he played what would turn out to be his final concert on June 1977, in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Sometime during the morning of August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley died from heart failure, at the young age of 42. The world mourned his passing and to this day some theorize that Elvis’ death was an elaborate hoax.

Even death didn’t weaken Elvis Presley’s brand. Thousands of fans flock to Graceland yearly to see the famous Presley home firsthand. His music is still played on radio stations around the world and some of modern music’s most famous artists often cite him as a key musical influence.
