    Elvis Presley, the “King of Rock and Roll” evoked change. He played a huge role in the movement ignited through the sound of rock and roll. Being credited as the founder of rock and roll, Elvis Presley with his new style of music and his abnormal demeanor will take the world by surprise. From his on stage provocative moves to his off stage “habits”, Elvis will bring something new to our society that we have never seen before. Elvis Presley never choreographed a dance, never wrote lyrics for a song, never created one piece of clothing, yet he is known as the “King of Rock and Roll.” Elvis’s music, soul and personality took the world by shock and changed American culture and society forever. He was the complete package; his charming smile, stunning face, angelic voice and unique dancing accumulated to one of the most discernible personalities in history.

The first side of his first single was a cover of “That’s All Right,”…
