A little less conversation and more dancing, yeah?
The legendary Elvis Presley rose to prominence in the 50s and is prevalently known as the “King of Rock and Roll.” With culture-shifting songs like “Hound Dog” and “Heartbreak Hotel,” the late rockabilly great has stood the test of time as among the most influential musicians in history.
