Elvis Presley, Rock Musician / Singer / Actor

Born: 8 January 1935
Birthplace: Tupelo, Mississippi
Died: 16 August 1977 (heart attack)
Best Known As: "The King of Rock 'n Roll"

Famous in life, Elvis Presley has become even more famous in death as an icon of American music and TV-era celebrity. Presley hit the charts as a rock 'n roll rebel in the 1950s. His 9 September 1956 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show (with Presley shown only from the waist up to hide his swivelling hips) turned him into one of the era's biggest stars. His many hits included "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog" and "Blue Suede Shoes." He also appeared in dozens of lighthearted movies designed to let him cavort and play the guitar onscreen, including King Creole (1958, with Walter Matthau) and Blue Hawaii (1961, with Angela Lansbury). In the late 1960s, after a period of declining fame, he remade himself into "The King," a melodramatic icon known for his sequined karate-style jumpsuits and megaconcerts. The loyalty of his fans is famous; though he died in 1977, sightings of a supposedly surviving Elvis became a kind of international running joke. Elvis's Memphis home, Graceland, has become a permanent shrine to the singer.

Col. Tom Parker was Elvis's longtime manager and personal power broker... Elvis's daughter Lisa Marie Presley was married to pop star Michael Jackson from 1994-1996, and then briefly to Nicolas Cage in 2002... Elvis was married one time, to the former Priscilla Beaulieu, from 1967-73; Priscilla Presley later appeared in the TV soap Dallas and the Naked Gun film series... A remix of Elvis's 1968 recording "A Little Less Conversation" became a hit after being featured in Nike ads during the 2002 World Cup; the song went to #1 on the British music charts... Elvis's twin brother, Jesse Garon, died at birth... Elvis's middle name is spelled "Aaron" on his tombstone; according to his official site, the name was spelled Aron at birth but as an adult Elvis planned to change the spelling to Aaron, and the tombstone was designed to reflect that wish.

20世纪世界流行音乐中最重要的人物是谁?答案勿庸置疑,那就是猫王埃尔维斯-普雷斯利--“猫王”(The Hillbilly Cat),这个绰号是狂热的美国南方歌迷为他取的昵称。

20世纪50年代,猫王的音乐开始风靡世界。他的音乐超越了种族以及文化的疆界,将乡村音乐、布鲁斯音乐以及山地摇滚乐融会贯通,形成了具有鲜明个性的独特曲风,强烈的震撼了当时的流行乐坛,并让摇滚乐如同旋风一般横扫了世界乐坛。尽管除了在少数的电影

歌曲中,猫王从未录制过外语歌曲,并且除了在三个加拿大城市的五场演出,他也从未在美国国外举办过演唱会。英俊不凡的容貌,天赋的音乐灵性,不羁天性而富有感召力的舞台表现力成为了猫王的标签,也使他成为世人狂热崇拜的明星,猫王在Graceland的家中,奖品陈列馆放满了金唱片和白金唱片,以及各种各样来自全世界各个国家的荣誉,他们中一部分是挪威,南斯拉夫,日本,澳大利亚,南非,英国,瑞典,德国,法国,加拿大,比利时以及荷兰。从50年代到70年代,他的影响力持续了20多年,歌曲流行经久不衰。1977年猫王去世之后,他的经典旧作仍然广为流行,任何再版唱片都能保持非常稳定的销量。毫无疑问,猫王是流行音乐历史上唱片销量最高的艺人。

据估计,猫王已经在世界范围内售出超过1,000,000,000张专辑,是唱片业历史上销量最大的歌手。仅仅在美国,猫王就已经拥有RCA唱片公司和美国录音工业协会(RIAA)追颁的131张金唱片及白金唱片。据估计,猫王总销量中,40%是在美国国外创造的。
