"the king"

What do you think of when you see the phrase "the king". Maybe you think of one of the most popular artists in music in America since at least the 1950's. His name is Elvis Presley, but most people can know who you're talking about if you simply say "Elvis", or "the king".
His full name is Elvis Aaron Presley and he was born in Mississippi in 1935. Elvis grew up as an only child, but he actually had a twin brother who was stillborn. Elvis moved in 1948 to Memphis, Tennessee. He graduated in 1953 from Humes High School. It was in 1954 that Elvis would begin his career in singing with Sun Records Label. Later his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor. Elvis would make music that would influence artists, and people in general.
He was also in at least 32 movies as a starring role. he also served in the army. He received 3 Grammys, gold and platinum awards, and also the Grammy lifetime Achievement Award when he was 36. Elvis was also named by the United States Jaycees "One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970"(Overview). Elvis passed away on August 16, 1977 at his home in Graceland. Elvis was and is adored, and I think part of the reason he is, is not only because of his significant impact on the music industry, but also because of the good man he was. It seems to me that Elvis really was a good guy. I never knew him personally(obviously), but I appreciate his faith and the gentlemen that it seems he was. Also, my grandma adored Elvis, so he will always have a special place in my heart as well. His voice was beautiful, and although he is gone, there are still songs we here, movies we watch, tons of merchandise and even his home we can visit to remember, honor, and learn about this amazing singer, artist, and person.
*Note: I received most of many of this information off of the "Overview", under his biography on Elvis' official website and took the pictures from his website as well.
