According to wikipedia:
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".

Elvis had an enormous talent for singing and playing musical instruments, and once audiences saw him perform his rock and roll, he became hugely popular. Some of his earlier releases were Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, and Love me Tender. Elvis made many movies, recorded several albums, and was a sex symbol in the eyes of millions of women around the world.
Graceland is the mansion that Elvis purchased, and it is now a museum and listed on the NRHP.
Elvis was drafted into the war, but after serving he made a comeback and was hugely successful all over again. He died in 1977 at the young age of 42, with drugs most certainly a factor.
