Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), was an American singer, musician and actor. He is often known simply as Elvis, and is also called "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", or simply "The King".
Presley began his career as a singer of rockabilly, performing country and rhythm and blues songs. He developed a combination of country music and blues with a strong back beat, and an energetic delivery - one of the earliest forms of rock & roll. He also had success with ballads, country, gospel, blues, pop, folk and even semi-operatic and jazz standards. In a career of over two decades, Presley set many records for concert attendance, television ratings and records sales. He subsequently became one of the best-selling and most influential artists in the history of popular music.
Though his appearance had worried many for several years, his death shocked his fans worldwide. Only in the ensuing years did it emerge that Presley had complex and chronic health problems, perhaps most significantly, severe and enduring prescription drug addiction. His death sparked national mourning, and controversy regarding the circumstances.
