History

Elvis Presley was born January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, and moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948. In 1954 he walked into Sun Records' Memphis Recording Service and was paired by producer Sam Phillips with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black; during a session break the trio cut a loose, blues-inflected take of Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right," launching rockabilly, a fusion of country and R&B that became Presley's early signature sound. Drummer D.J. Fontana joined in 1955 to round out the touring band. That same year RCA Victor bought his contract, and by 1956 Presley was an international star, going on to dominate the pop, country, and gospel charts through the 1960s and 70s while also headlining more than 30 films. He is credited by Guinness World Records as the best-selling solo artist in history, with an estimated one billion records sold worldwide, and holds a record 235 RIAA certifications, more than any other recording artist. He died in 1977 and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's inaugural 1986 class.
