Elvis Aaron Presley (
January 8,
1935–
August 16,
1977), was an
American singer,
musician,
actor,
writer, and
producer. He is a
cultural icon, often known as "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", or simply "The King". Presley began his career as one of the first performers of
rockabilly, an uptempo fusion of
country and
rhythm and blues with a strong
back beat. His novel versions of existing songs, mixing "
black" and "
white" sounds, made him popular—and controversial—as did his uninhibited stage and television performances. He recorded songs in the
rock and roll genre, with tracks like "
Hound Dog" and "
Jailhouse Rock" later embodying the style. Presley had a versatile voice and had unusually wide success encompassing other genres, including gospel, blues, ballads and pop. To date, he is the only performer to have been inducted into four music
halls of fame.
