The biography of the Legendary King of Rock and Roll

United Library published English and Spanish editions of the 54-page biography 'Elvis Presley: The biography of the Legendary King of Rock and Roll from Memphis, his Life, Rise, being Lonely and Last Train Home'.

Description: Step into the extraordinary life and legacy of Elvis Aaron Presley, the undisputed "King of Rock and Roll," in this comprehensive exploration of his iconic career and cultural impact. Born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis's journey from a small-town upbringing to global stardom is a testament to his unparalleled influence on the 20th century.

Delve into the early days of Presley's music career, ignited in 1954 at Sun Records under the guidance of producer Sam Phillips. With his classic quartet featuring guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley pioneered rockabilly, a dynamic fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. His breakout single, "Heartbreak Hotel," released in 1956, quickly soared to number-one, marking the beginning of a musical revolution. Despite initial controversy surrounding his performative style and the integration of African-American influences, Presley's success skyrocketed with chart-topping records and electrifying television appearances.

Explore his transition to Hollywood, where he starred in films like "Jailhouse Rock," "Blue Hawaii," and "Viva Las Vegas." Witness his triumphant return to the stage in the 1968 television comeback special, leading to a Las Vegas residency and global tours. However, Presley's health took a toll due to prescription drug abuse and unhealthy habits, culminating in his sudden death at Graceland estate in 1977, leaving behind an enduring legacy. With approximately 500 million records sold worldwide and a multitude of records and awards, Elvis Presley's impact on music and pop culture remains unparalleled.
