71 Elvis Presley Quotes On Life, God & Success

Reading Time: 6 minutes

Elvis Presley was an American singer and actor who became one of the most popular cultural icons of the 20th century.

He is often referred to as “the King of Rock and Roll” or simply “the King.” Elvis’ career began in 1954 when he signed with Sun Records. His recordings with Sun, including “That’s All Right,” “Blue Moon of Kentucky,” and “Good Rockin’ Tonight,” laid the foundation for his rise to stardom. In 1955, he made his television debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Elvis subsequently signed a contract with RCA Victor and released his first studio album, Elvis Presley, in 1956. His rapid rise to fame popularized a new style of music known as rockabilly.

Elvis’ musically innovative and sexually provocative performances soon earned him the adulation of young fans and the condemnation of older, more conservative Americans.

In 1957, he was drafted into military service. Two years later, he returned to civilian life and successfully resumed his recording career. However, by the early 1970s, Elvis’ career declined due to drug addiction and other health problems. In 1973, he gave his last concert performance in Hawaii before dying of a heart attack at age 42.
