When Elvis was a
teenager he would work as a movie theater usher, then a
truck driver and singer.
He started singing and toured locally. When he started touring
he was billed as the "Hillbilly
Cat" and even recorded under that name. RCA records
signed Presley in 1955,
racking up hit after hit.
--Presley's
success was huge, he began appearing in Films in 1956 and
sold more records,
more concerts etc. than anyone before or after. He was drafted
into the Army, was honorably discharged,
returned home, got married, moved to his "Graceland
Mansion" in
Memphis TN., and had a baby girl named "Lisa Marie".

During the 1960's when the Beatles came to the States, Presley's
popularity slowed
down, but he still had many millions of fans. He died of
a heart attack (by a
prescribed drug) in 1977 in Memphis, TN. Elvis was considered
the "King of Rock
& Roll."
