Presley started as a singer of [[rockabilly]], singing many songs from [[rhythm and blues]] (R&B), gospel and [[country music|country]]. He was first billed as '''"The Hilbilly Cat"'''. His combination of country music with bluesy vocals and a strong [[back beat]] marked a clear path toward [[rock & roll]]. He was the most commercially successful singer of rock and roll, but he also had success with [[ballads]], country, gospel, blues, pop, folk and even semi-operatic and jazz standards. His voice, which developed into many voices as his career progressed, had always a unique tonality and an extraordinary unusual center of gravity, leading to his being able to tackle a range of songs and melodies which would be nearly impossible for most other popular singers to achieve. In a musical career of over two decades, Presley set many records, such as concert attendance, television ratings, and record sales, and became one of the best-selling artists in music history.

Elvis Presley is an icon of modern American pop culture. During the late 1960's and through a large portion of the 1970's, Presley re-emerged as a live performer of old and new hit songs, both on tour and in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]], where he was known for his on-stage highly energetic performances both vocally and physically, his sartorial jump-suits and capes adding to the drama. He attracted massive attendance figures. His concert performances were staggering in quantity, considering they numbered over 1,100 in 8 years. He continued to perform before sell-out audiences around the U.S. until his death in 1977.<ref>[http://www.elvisconcerts.com/newspapers/press35.htm "Fans Of Elvis Pay a Lot to See Little"] by Damien Jaques, ''The Milwaukee Journal'', [[April 28]], [[1977]], retrieved [[October 22]], [[2006]]</ref><ref>[http://www.elvisconcerts.com/newspapers/press69.htm "They Screamed For Elvis 'All it took was a shake of a finger'"] by Paul Betit, ''Kennebec Journal'', [[May 25]], [[1977]], retrieved [[October 22]], [[2006]]</ref><ref>[http://www.elvisconcerts.com/newspapers/press78.htm "There's no doubt about it -Elvis is still 'king'"] by Jeri Gulbransen, ''Rapid City Journal'', [[June 22]], [[1977]], retrieved [[October 22]], [[2006]]</ref> His death was premature at 42, despite alarming concerns about his health. When he died on August 16, 1977, it was a huge shock to his fans. However, it soon became clear that a combination of over-work, obesity, depression, bad diet and severe abuse of prescription drugs, accelerated his premature departure. His popularity as a singer has survived his death.

Vernon Presley is described as a "taciturn to the point of sullenness," whereas his mother Gladys "was voluble, lively, full of spunk."<ref>Peter Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley'', p.12.</ref> [[Priscilla Presley]] describes her as "a surreptitious drinker and alcoholic." When she was angry, "she cussed like a sailor".<ref>Priscilla Presley, ''Elvis and Me'', p.172</ref> Presley's twin brother, [[Jesse Garon Presley]], was [[stillbirth|stillborn]], thus leaving him to grow up as an [[only child]].

Presley's parents were very protective of their only surviving child. The little boy "grew up a loved and precious child. He was, everyone agreed, unusually close to his mother."<ref>Peter Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley,'' p.13.</ref> His mother Gladys "worshipped him", said a neighbor, "from the day he was born." Elvis himself said, "My mama never let me out of her sight. I couldn't go down to the creek with the other kids."<ref>Guralnick, p.13.</ref> In his teens he was still a very shy person, a "kid who had spent scarcely a night away from home in his nineteen years."<ref>Guralnick, p.149</ref> He was teased by his fellow classmates who threw "things at him - rotten fruit and stuff - because he was different, because he was quiet and he stuttered and he was a mama's boy."<ref>Guralnick, p.36, referring to an account by singer [[Barbara Pittman]] and Patrick Humphries, ''Elvis The #1 Hits: The Secret History of the Classics'', p.117.</ref> Gladys was so proud of her son, that, years later, she "would get up early in the morning to run off the fans so Elvis could sleep".<ref>Guralnick, p.280.</ref> She was frightened of Elvis being hurt: "She knew her boy, and she knew he could take care of himself, but what if some crazy man came after him with a gun? she said...tears streaming down her face."<ref>Guralnick, p.346.</ref>

In 1938, when Presley was three years old, his father was convicted of [[forgery]]. Vernon, Gladys's brother Travis Smith, and Luther Gable went to prison for altering a check from Orville Bean, Vernon's boss, from $3 to $8 and then cashing it at a local bank. Vernon was sentenced to three years at [[Mississippi State Penitentiary]].<ref>{{cite web

During her husband's absence, Gladys lost the house and was forced to move in briefly with her in-laws next door. The Presley family lived just above the poverty line during their years in East Tupelo.

In 1941 Presley started school at the East Tupelo Consolidated. There he seems to have been an outsider. His few friends relate that he was separate from any crowd and did not belong to any "gang", but, according to his teachers, he was a sweet and average student, and he loved [[comic book]]s. In 1943 Vernon moved to Memphis, where he found work and stayed throughout the war, coming home only on weekends.

In 1946 Presley started at a new school, Milam, which went from grades 5 through 9, but in 1948 the family left Tupelo, moving 110 miles northwest to [[Memphis, Tennessee]]. Here too, the thirteen-year-old lived in the city's poorer section of town and attended a [[Pentecostal]] church. At this time, he was very much influenced by the [[Memphis blues]] music and the [[gospel music|gospel]] sung at his church.

Presley entered Humes High School in Memphis taking up work at the school library and after school at Loew's State Theatre. In 1951 he enrolled in the school's [[ROTC]] unit, tried unsuccessfully to qualify for the high school football team (supposedly cut from the team by the coach for not trimming his [[sideburns]] and [[ducktail]]), spending his spare time around the African-American section of Memphis, especially on [[Beale Street]]. In 1953 he graduated from Humes, majoring in History, English, and Shop.

Elvis was very influenced by gospel acts, as well as acts such as Little Richard and Chuck Berry. The common story that the Presleys formed a popular gospel trio who sang in church and travelled about to various revival meetings is probably not true.<ref>Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis,'' p.17.</ref> However, in 1945 Presley, just ten years old, entered a singing contest at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show. Decked out in a cowboy outfit, he had to stand on a chair to reach the microphone singing [[Red Foley|Red Foley's]] "Old Shep." He won second place, a $5 prize and a free ticket to all the rides. On his birthday in January 1946 he received a guitar purchased from Tupelo Hardware Store. In his seventh-grade year at Milam he seems to have taken this guitar to school every day. Many of the other children denigrated him as a "trashy" kind of boy playing trashy "hillbilly" music. Over the next year, Vernon's brother Johnny Smith and Assembly of God pastor Frank Smith gave him basic guitar lessons.

Some years later, in [[Memphis, Tennessee]], the young Presley "spent much of his spare time hanging around the black section of town, especially on [[Beale Street]], where bluesmen like [[Furry Lewis]] and [[B.B. King]] performed".<ref>''Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock'', p. 783</ref> B.B. King says that he "knew Elvis before he was popular. He used to come around and be around us a lot. There was a place we used to go and hang out on Beale Street".<ref>B.B. King, quoted in David Szatmary, ''A Time to Rock'' (1996), p. 35</ref> Beale Street in Memphis was notorious for its bars, prostitutes and gambling establishments. Music producer [[Jim Dickinson]] called it "the center of all evil in the known universe".<ref>James Dickerson, ''Goin’ Back to Memphis'' (1996), p. 27</ref> But it was a place where young Presley could hear black music. In an interview with Ev Grimes, composer [[Philip Glass]] says, "Elvis Presley was really the guy that took black music and made it—well, popular is really the best word."<ref>Richard Kostelanetz and Robert Flemming, ''Writings on Glass: Essays, Interviews, Criticism'' (University of California Press, 1999), p.15.</ref> In similar terms, Elijah Wald writes that Presley has "listened carefully to Negro blues men and sanctified singers, swallowed all of that music and combined it with hillbilly sound."<ref>Elijah Wald, ''Josh White: Society Blues'' (2002), p.264.</ref>

The opening chapter of [[Peter Guralnick|Peter Guralnick's]] book ''[[Last Train To Memphis]]'' [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316332259] deals with musical influence coming from birth exclusively through his family's attendance at the [[Assemblies of God|Assembly of God]], a [[Pentecostal]] [[Holiness]] church. [[Rolling Stone]] magazine wrote that: "Gospel pervaded Elvis' character and was a defining and enduring influence all of his days."<ref>Rolling Stone biography on Elvis Presley [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/elvispresley/biography] </ref> The [[United States government]] mandatory personal examination of Presley as part of the approval process to make his [[Graceland]] home a [[National Historic Landmark]] wrote that Presley "clearly embraced [[African American]] music and [[culture]] and did so at a pivotal point of cultural change in American history" but that " [[Gospel music]] was his primary musical influence." The U.S. government historian stated that "In the early years of the twentieth century, the evangelical [[Pentecostal]] movement with its "vibrant worship style" became extremely popular with working-class Christians, [[Black people|black]] and [[White (people)|white]]." The church services in which the Presley family participated was where people "jumped, shouted, danced, and fell out for [[Jesus]], because, in a word, they acted "crazy, " they became a national laughingstock, the [[Holy Roller]]s of fable and cliché." According to the study, the family's move to Memphis expanded his musical horizons when he began to attend Sunday services at the East Trigg Baptist Church.<ref>[[United States Department of the Interior]] re Graceland National Historic Landmark Nomination report prepared by Jody Cook, Architectural Historian with detailed references:'''

Elvis Presley was a baritone whose voice had an extraordinary compass &mdash; the so-called register &mdash; and a very wide range of vocal color.<ref>Henry Pleasants, ''The Great American Popular Singers.''</ref> It covered two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat. Presley's best octave was in the middle, D-flat to D-flat. In ballads and country songs he was able to belt out full-voiced high Gs and As, showing a remarkable ability to naturally assimilate styles.

Presley's range, though impressive in its own right, did not in itself make his voice that remarkable, at least in terms of how it measured against musical notation. What made it extraordinary, was where its center of gravity lay. By that measure, and according to Gregory Sandows, Music Professor at Columbia University, Presley was at once a bass, a baritone, and a tenor, most unusual among singers in either classical or popular music.

On [[July 18]], [[1953]] Presley paid $3.25 to record the first of two double-sided demos [[Cellulose acetate|acetate]]s at [[Sun Records|Sun Studios]], "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartaches Begin", which were popular [[ballad]]s at the time. According to the official Presley website, Presley gave it to his mother as a much-belated birthday present. Presley returned to Sun Studios (706 Union Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee) on [[January 4]], [[1954]]. He again paid $8.25 to record a second demo, "I'll Never Stand in Your Way" and "It Wouldn't Be the Same Without You" (master 0812).

King]], [[Little Milton]] and [[Junior Parker]] [http://www.pbs.org/americanrootsmusic/pbs_arm_saa_elvispresley.html], was looking for "a white man with a Negro sound and the Negro feel," with whom he "could make a billion dollars," because he thought black blues and boogie-woogie music might become tremendously popular among white people if presented in the right way.<ref>See James Miller, ''Flowers in the Dustbin: The Rise of Rock and Roll, 1947-1977'' (1999), p. 71</ref> The Sun Records producer felt that a black rhythm and blues act stood little chance at the time of gaining the broad exposure needed to achieve large-scale commercial success."<ref> Michael T.

Phillips and assistant Marion Keisker heard the Presley discs and called him on [[June 26]], [[1954]] to fill in for a missing ballad singer. Although that session was not productive, Phillips put Presley together with local musicians [[Scotty Moore]] and [[Bill Black]] to see what might develop. During a rehearsal break on [[July 5]], [[1954]], Presley began singing a [[blues]] song written by [[Arthur Crudup]] called "[[That's All Right]]". Phillips liked the resulting record and on [[July 19]], [[1954]] he released it as a 78-rpm single backed with Presley's hopped-up version of [[Bill Monroe]]'s [[Bluegrass music|bluegrass]] song "[[Blue Moon of Kentucky]]". Memphis radio station [[WHBQ]] began playing it two days later, the record became a local hit and Presley began a regular touring schedule hoping to expand his fame beyond [[Tennessee]].

However, Sam Phillips had difficulty persuading Southern white disc jockeys to play Presley's first recordings. The only place that played his records at first were in the [[Negro]] sections of [[Chicago]] and [[Detroit]] and in [[California]]. However, his music and style began to draw larger and larger audiences as he toured the South in 1955. Soon, demand by white teenagers that their local radio stations play his music overcame much of that resistance and as [[Rolling Stone]] magazine wrote years later in Presley's biography: "Overnight, it seemed, "race music," as the music industry had labeled the work of black artists, became a thing of the past, as did the pejorative "hillbilly" music. [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/elvispresley/biography] Still, throughout 1955 and even well into 1956 when he had become a national phenomenon, Presley had to deal with an entrenched racism of die-hard segregationists and their continued labeling of his sound and style as vulgar "nigger music". Allegations of racism were made against Presley, possibly by those segregationist elements who hated what he was doing. ''[[Jet (magazine)|Jet]]'' examined the issue and in its August 1, 1957 edition, the African American magazine concluded that: "To Elvis, people are people regardless of race, color or creed."<ref>Peter Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley,'' p.426.</ref>

Parker was a master promoter who wasted no time in furthering Presley's image, licensing everything from guitars to cookware. Parker's first major coup was to market Presley on television. First, he had Presley booked in six of the Dorsey Shows (CBS). Presley appeared on the show on January 28, 1956, then on February 4, 11 & 18, 1956, with two more appearances on March 17 & 24, 1956. In March, he was able to obtain a lucrative deal with [[Milton Berle]] (NBC), for two appearances: The first appearance on April 3, 1956. The second appearance was controversial pertaining to Presley's performance of "[[Hound Dog (song)|Hound Dog]]" on the June 5, 1956. It sparked a storm over his "gyrations" while singing. The controversy lasted through the rest of the 50's. However, that show drew such huge ratings that Steve Allen (ABC) booked him for one appearance, which took place early on July 1, 1956. That night, Allen had for the first time beaten ''The [[Ed Sullivan]] Show'' in the Sunday night ratings, prompting Sullivan (CBS) to book Presley for three appearances: September 9, and October 28, 1956 as well as January 6, 1957, for an unprecedented fee of $50,000. On September 9, 1956, at his first of three appearances on the Sullivan show, Presley drew an estimated 82.5% percent of the television audience, calculated at between 55-60 million viewers.

Parker eventually negotiated a multi-picture seven-year contract with [[Metro Goldwyn Mayer]] that shifted Presley's focus from music to films. Under the terms of his contract, Presley earned a fee for performing plus a percentage of the profits on the films, most of which were huge moneymakers. These were usually musicals based around Presley performances, and marked the beginning of his transition from rebellious rock and roller to all-round family entertainer. Presley was praised by all his directors, including the highly respected [[Michael Curtiz]], as unfailingly polite and extremely hardworking.

Parker's success led to Presley expanding the "Colonel's" management contract to an even 50/50 split. Over the years, much has been written about "Colonel" Parker, most of it critical. Marty Lacker, a lifelong friend and a member of the [[Memphis Mafia]], says he thought of Parker as a "hustler and scam artist" who abused Presley's reliance on him. Priscilla Presley admits that "Elvis detested the business side of his career. He would sign a contract without even reading it."<ref>Priscilla Presley, ''Elvis and Me'', p. 188.</ref> This would explain the strong influence the Colonel had on Presley. Nonetheless, Lacker acknowledged that Parker was a master promoter.<ref>Marty Lacker, Lamar Fike, and Billy Smith, ''Elvis Aron Presley: Revelations from the Memphis Mafia'' (1995). A detailed biography of Parker was written by [[Alanna Nash]] and published in 2003.</ref>

The reporter who conducted Presley's first interview in [[New York City]] in [[1956]] noted that he named blues singers who "obviously meant a lot to him. I was very surprised to hear him talk about the black performers down there and about how he tried to carry on their music."{{citeneeded}} Later that year in [[Charlotte, North Carolina]], Presley was quoted as saying: "The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I’m doin' now, man, for more years than I know. They played it like that in their shanties and in their juke joints and nobody paid it no mind 'til I goosed it up. I got it from them. Down in Tupelo, Mississippi, I used to hear old [[Arthur Crudup]] bang his box the way I do now and I said if I ever got to a place I could feel all old Arthur felt, I’d be a music man like nobody ever saw."<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,661084,00.html "Elvis Rocks.

Up to the mid 1950s black artists had sold miniscule amounts of their recorded music relative to the national market potential. Black songwriters had mostly limited horizons and could only eke out a living. But after Presley purchased the music of African American [[Otis Blackwell]] and had his "Gladys Music" company hire talented black songwriter [[Claude Demetrius]], the industry underwent a dramatic change. In the spring of 1957 Presley invited African American performer [[Ivory Joe Hunter]] to visit Graceland and the two spent the day together, singing "I Almost Lost My Mind" and other songs. Of Presley, Hunter commented, "He showed me every courtesy, and I think he's one of the greatest."<ref>Peter Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley,'' p.426.</ref>

However, certain elements in American society began to simply dismiss Presley as no more than a racist Southerner who ''stole'' black music. However, in the words of Black R&B artist [[Jackie Wilson]], "A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied his stage mannerisms from Elvis." "Racists attacked rock and roll because of the mingling of black and white people it implied and achieved, and because of what they saw as black music's power to corrupt through vulgar and animalistic rhythms. ... The popularity of Elvis Presley was similarly founded on his transgressive position with respect to racial and sexual boundaries. ... White cover versions of hits by black musicians ... often outsold the originals; it seems that many Americans wanted black music without the black people in it,"<ref> Robert Walser, "The rock and roll era", in ''The Cambridge History of American Music'' (Cambridge University Press, 1998), p.358.</ref> and Elvis had undoubtedly "derived his style from the Negro rhythm-and-blues performers of the late 1940's."<ref>Martha Bayles (ed.), ''Hole in Our Soul: The Loss of Beauty and Meaning in American Popular Music'' (University of Chicago Press, 1996), p.22.</ref> "Many White people would be surprised to learn that Elvis Presley's hit 'Hound Dog' was first popularized by a Black woman, [[Big Mama Thornton]], (but it was written by the white songwriting team of [[Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller]]). Elvis and his music live on the collective memory of Whites, yet [[Little Richard]], some of whose work Elvis borrowed, has been forgotten."<ref> Carol Tator, Winston Matthis, Frances Henry, ''Challenging Racism in the Arts'' (University of Toronto Press, 1998), p.134.</ref> A southern background combined with a performing style largely associated with African Americans had let to "bitter criticism by those who feel he stole a good thing," as ''Tan'' magazine surmised.<ref> Michael T. Bertrand, ''Race, Rock, and Elvis'' (University of Illinois Press, 2000), p.222.</ref> No wonder that Elvis became "a symbol of all that was oppressive to the black experience in the Western Hemisphere".<ref>Bertrand, p.27.</ref> What is more, Presley was widely believed to have said, "The only thing black people can do for me is shine my shoes and buy my records."<ref>A variant: "I've only two uses for niggers – they can buy my records and they can shine my shoes." Quoted in Alexander Cockburn, ''The Golden Age Is in Us: Journeys and Encounters, 1987-1994,'' p.17.</ref> It was claimed that the alleged comment was been made either in Boston or on Edward R. Murrow's ''Person to Person.''<ref>Bertrand, p.221.</ref> A black southerner in the late 1980s even captured that sentiment: "To talk to Presley about blacks was like talking to Adolph Hitler about the Jews."<ref>Bertrand, p.200. The author adds, "One journalist wrote upon the singer's death that African Americans refused to participate in the numerous eulogies dedicated to him."</ref>

In his scholarly work ''Race, Rock, and Elvis'',<ref>See [http://www.press.uillinois.edu/s05/bertrand.html University of Illinois Press] website.</ref> [[Tennessee State University]] professor [[Michael T. Bertrand]] examined the relationship between popular culture and social change in America and these allegations against Presley. Professor Bertrand postulated that Presley's rock and roll music brought an unprecedented access to African American culture that challenged that 1950s segregated generation to reassess ingrained segregationist stereotypes. The [[American Historical Review]] wrote that the author "convincingly argues that the black-and-white character of the sound, as well as Presley's own persona, helped to relax the rigid color line and thereby fed the fires of the [[American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968)|civil rights movement]]." The U.S. government report stated: "Presley has been accused of "stealing" black rhythm and blues, but such accusations indicate little knowledge of his many musical influences." "However much Elvis may have 'borrowed' from black blues performers (e.g., 'Big Boy' Crudup, 'Big Mama' Thornton), he borrowed no less from white country stars (e.g., [[Ernest Tubb]], [[Bill Monroe]]) and white pop singers (e.g., [[Mario Lanza]], [[Dean Martin]])," and most of his borrowings came from the church; its gospel music was his primary musical influence and foundation."

==="A danger to American culture"===
By the spring of 1956, Presley was fast becoming a national phenomenon<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/cultureshock/flashpoints/music/elvis.html]</ref> and teenagers came to his concerts in unprecedented numbers. When he performed at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair in 1956, 100 [[United States National Guard|National Guardsmen]] surrounded the stage to control crowds of excited fans. The singer was considered to represent a threat to the moral well-being of young American women. The [[Roman Catholic|Roman Catholic Church]] denounced him in its weekly magazine in an article headlined "Beware Elvis Presley."<ref> [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/cultureshock/flashpoints/music/elvis.html]</ref>

In an interview with [[PBS]] television, social historian [[Eric Lott]] said, "all the citizens' councils in the South called Elvis 'nigger music' and were terribly afraid that Elvis, white as he was, being ambiguously raced just by being working-class, was going to corrupt the youth of America."<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/foster/sfeature/sf_minstrelsy_10.html]</ref> [[Robert Blair Kaiser|Robert Kaiser]] says he was the first who gave the people "a music that hit them where they lived, deep in their emotions, yes, even below their belts. Other singers had been doing this for generations, but they were black."<ref>Quoted in Michael T. Bertrand, ''Race, Rock, and Elvis'' (University of Illinois Press, 2000), p.223.</ref> Therefore, his performance style was frequently criticized. Social guardians blasted anyone responsible for exposing impressionable teenagers to his "gyrating figure and suggestive gestures." The Louisville chief of police, for instance, called for a no-wiggle rule to halt "any lewd, lascivious contortions that would excite the crowd."<ref>Bertrand, p.223.</ref> Even Priscilla Presley confirms that "his performances were labeled obscene. My mother stated emphatically that he was 'a bad influence for teenage girls. He arouses things in them that shouldn't be aroused.'"<ref>Priscilla Presley, ''Elvis and Me'', p.8.</ref>

According to rhythm and blues artist [[Hank Ballard]], "In white society, the movement of the butt, the shaking of the leg, all that was considered obscene. Now here's this white boy that's grinding and rolling his belly and shaking that notorious leg. I hadn't even seen the black dudes doing that."<ref>Quoted in Bertrand, p.223</ref> Presley complained bitterly in a June 27, 1956, interview about being singled out as “obscene”.<ref> Roger Beebe, Denise Fulbrook, Ben Saunders, ''Rock Over the Edge'' (Duke University Press, 2002), p.100.</ref> Due to his controversial style of song and stage performances, municipal politicians began denying permits for Presley appearances. This caused teens to pile into cars and travel elsewhere to see him perform. Adult programmers announced they would not play Presley's music on their radio stations due to religious convictions that his music was "devil music" and to racist beliefs that it was "nigger music." Many of Presley's records were condemned as [[sin|wicked]] by Pentecostal preachers, warning congregations to keep [[heathen]] rock and roll music out of their homes and away from their children's ears (especially the music of "that backslidden Pentecostal pup.") However, the economic power of Presley's fans became evident when they tuned in alternative radio stations playing his records. In an era when radio stations were shifting to an all-music format, in reaction to competition from [[television]], profit-conscious radio station owners learned quickly when sponsors bought more advertising time on new all "rock and roll" stations, some of which reached enormous markets at night with [[clear channel]] signals from [[Mediumwave|AM]] broadcasts.

In August, 1956 in [[Jacksonville, Florida]] a local [[Juvenile Court]] judge called Presley a "[[Barbarian|savage]]" and threatened to arrest him if he shook his body while performing at Jacksonville's Florida Theatre, justifying the restrictions by saying his music was undermining the youth of America. Throughout the performance, Presley stood still as ordered but poked fun at the judge by wiggling a finger. Similar attempts to stop his "sinful gyrations" continued for more than a year and included his often-noted January 6, 1957 appearance on ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]'' (during which he performed the spiritual number "Peace in the Valley"), when he was filmed only from the waist up.

Presley sang both hard driving [[rockabilly]], [[Rock and Roll|rock and roll]] dance songs and [[ballad]]s, laying a commercial foundation upon which other rock musicians would build their careers. [[African American|African-American]] performers like [[Little Richard]] and [[Chuck Berry]] came to national prominence after Presley's acceptance among mass audiences of [[White race|white]] teenagers. Singers like [[Jerry Lee Lewis]], the [[Everly Brothers]], [[Buddy Holly]], [[Roy Orbison]] and others immediately followed in his wake. [[The Beatles]] superstar [[John Lennon]] later observed, "Before Elvis, there was nothing."

During the post-[[World War II|WWII]] economic boom of the 1950s, many parents were able to give their teenaged children much higher weekly [[allowance]]s, signalling a shift in the buying power and purchasing habits of American teens. During the 1940s [[bobby soxer]]s had idolized [[Frank Sinatra]], but the buyers of his records were mostly between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two. Presley triggered a juggernaut of demand for his records by near-teens and early teens aged ten and up. Along with Presley's "[[ducktail]]" haircut, the demand for black slacks and loose, open-necked shirts resulted in new lines of clothing for teenaged boys whereas a girl might get a pink portable 45 rpm record player for her bedroom. Meanwhile American teenagers began buying newly available portable [[transistor radio]]s<ref>Rich Gordon, "[http://www.medill.northwestern.edu/medill/inside/medill_voices/how_transistor_radios_and_web_and_newspapers_and_hifi_radio_are_alike.html How Transistor Radios and Web (and Newspapers and Hi-Fi radio) are Alike]", "Reprinted, with permission, from The Cole Papers, June 22, 2005."</ref> and listened to [[rock 'n' roll]] on them (helping to propel that fledgling industry from an estimated 100,000 units sold in 1955 to 5,000,000 units by the end of 1958). Teens were asserting more independence and Presley became a national symbol of their parents' consternation.

Presley's impact on the American youth consumer market was noted on the front page of ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' on December 31, 1956 when business journalist Louis M. Kohlmeier wrote, "Elvis Presley today is a business," and reported on the singer's record and merchandise sales. Half a century later, historian Ian Brailsford ([[University of Auckland]], [[New Zealand]]) commented, "The phenomenal success of Elvis Presley in 1956 convinced many doubters of the financial opportunities existing in the youth market."<ref>Ian Brailsford, "[http://www.kingston.ac.uk/cusp/Lectures/Brailsfordpaper.doc History repeating itself: Were postwar American teenagers ripe for harvest?]" (NB Microsoft Word format): transcript of a paper delivered at "[http://www.kingston.ac.uk/cusp/Lectures/Youthforty.htm Youth Marketing Reaches Forty]", 17 May 2001.</ref>

==Military service==
On [[December 20]] [[1957]], at the peak of his career, Presley received his [[Conscription|draft board]] notice for his mandatory service in the [[United States Army]]. He was worried that his absence in the public eye for 2 years, while serving in the Army, might end his career. Even more worried were [[Hal Wallis]] and Paramount who already spent $350,000 on pre-production of Presley's latest film ''King Creole'' and they feared of suspending the project or worse canceling it. Fortunately, the Memphis Draft Board granted Wallis and Colonel Parker a deferment until [[March 20]] so Presley could complete his film project.<ref>[http://www.epgold.com/highlights/army.htm Elvis in the Army]</ref> On [[24 March]] [[1958]], Presley joined his unit, 1st Battalion, [[US 32nd Armored Regiment|32nd Armored Regiment]] and was posted to Germany.


==[[Arcadia]]==
While serving in Germany, Presley met his wife-to-be - the then 14-year-old [[Priscilla Presley|Priscilla Beaulieu]]; noted ''[[International Herald Tribune]]'' correspondent and humorist [[Art Buchwald]]; future US Secretary of State [[Colin Powell]] (then a lieutenant with the Third Army Division in Germany); and Walter Alden, the father of Presley's fiancee [[Ginger Alden]] who inducted Presley into the Army.

Presley admired [[James Dean]] and [[Tony Curtis]] style and returned from the military eager to make a career as a movie star. Although "he was definitely not the most talented actor around.",<ref>Leo Verswijver, ''Movies Were Always Magical: Interviews with 19 Actors, Directors, and Producers from the Hollywood of the 1930s through the 1950s'' (2002), p.129.</ref> he "became a film genre of his own."<ref>Tom Lisanti, ''Fantasy Femmes of 60's Cinema: Interviews with 20 Actresses from Biker, Beach, and Elvis Movies'' (2000), p.18.</ref> Pop film staples of the early sixties, such as the Presley musicals and the [[American International Pictures|AlP]] beach movies were mainly produced for a teenage audience and called by film critics a "pantheon of bad taste"<ref>Andrew Caine, ''Interpreting Rock Movies: The Pop Film and Its Critics in Britain'', p. 21.</ref> In the sixties, at Colonel Parker's command, Presley withdrew from concerts and television appearances, after his final appearance with Frank Sinatra on NBC entitled "Welcome Home Elvis" where he sang "Witchcraft/Love Me Tender" with Sinatra, in order to make these movies. "He blamed his fading popularity on his humdrum movies," [[Priscilla Presley]] recalled in her 1985 autobiography, ''[[Elvis and Me]]''. "He loathed their stock plots and short shooting schedules. He could have demanded better, more substantial scripts but he didn't." According to most critics, the scripts of the movies "were all the same, the songs progressively worse."<ref>Connie Kirchberg and Marc Hendrickx, ''Elvis Presley, Richard Nixon, and the American Dream'' (1999), p.67.</ref> The latter were "written on order by men who never really understood Elvis or rock and roll."<ref>Jerry Hopkins, ''Elvis in Hawaii'' (2002), p.32.</ref> For ''Blue Hawaii'' and its soundtrack LP, "fourteen songs were cut in just three days."<ref>Hopkins, p.31</ref> Julie Parrish, starring in ''Paradise, Hawaiian Style'', says that Presley hated such songs and that he "couldn't stop laughing while he was recording" one of them.<ref>Tom Lisanti, ''Fantasy Femmes of 60's Cinema'', p.19, 136.</ref>

Although some film critics chastised these movies for their lack of depth, the fans turned out and they were enormously profitable. According to Jerry Hopkins's book, ''Elvis in Hawaii'', Presley's "pretty-as-a-postcard movies" even "boosted the new state's (Hawaii) tourism. Some of his most enduring and popular songs came from those movies."<ref>Hopkins, ''Elvis in Hawaii'', p. vii</ref> Altogether, Presley had made 27 movies during the 1960s, "which had grossed about $130 million, and he had sold a hundred million records, which had made $150 million."<ref>Magdalena Alagna, ''Elvis Presley'' (2002)</ref> Overall, he was one of the highest paid Hollywood actors during the 1960s. However, during the later sixties, "the Elvis Presley film was becoming passé. Young people were tuning in, dropping out and doing [[LSD|acid]]. Musical acts like the [[Jefferson Airplane]], [[Grateful Dead]], the [[The Doors|Doors]], [[Janis Joplin]] and many others were dominating the airwaves. Elvis Presley was not considered as cool as he once was."<ref>Tom Lisanti, ''Fantasy Femmes of 60's Cinema: Interviews with 20 Actresses from Biker, Beach, and Elvis Movies'', p.19.</ref>

Until the late sixties Presley continued to star in many B-movies, featuring soundtracks that were of increasingly lower quality. He had become deeply dissatisfied with the direction his career had taken over the ensuing seven years, most notably the film contracts with a demanding schedule that eliminated creative recording and giving public concerts. This lead to a triumphant [[television special|televised performance]] later dubbed the ''[[Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special|'68 Comeback Special]]'', aired on the [[NBC]] television network on [[December 3]], [[1968]] and released as an album by RCA. In a special that saw him return to his [[rock and roll]] roots, [[Rolling Stone]] magazine called it "a performance of emotional grandeur and historical resonance".

==[[Achaea]]==
From 1971 to his death in 1977 Presley employed the [[Stamps Quartet]], a gospel group, for his backup vocals. He recorded several gospel albums, earning three [[Grammy Award]]s for his gospel music. In his later years his live stage performances almost always included a rendition of ''[[How Great Thou Art]],'' the 19th century gospel song made famous by [[George Beverly Shea]]. Although some critics say that the singer travestied, commercialized and soft-soaped gospel "to the point where it became nauseating.",<ref>Albert Goldman, ''Elvis: The Last 24 Hours'', p.187.</ref> twenty-four years after his death, the [[Gospel Music Association]] inducted him into its [[Gospel Music Hall of Fame]] (2001).

==[[Kastoria Prefecture|Kastoria]]==
Following Presley's death in 1977, US [[President]] [[Jimmy Carter]] said, "Elvis Presley's death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique and irreplaceable. His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white country and black rhythm and blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense and he was a symbol to people the world over, of the vitality, rebelliousness, and good humor of his country."{{fact}}

[[Category:Geography of Greece]]
According to [[Peter Guralnick]]'s book, ''Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley'' (1999), "drug use was heavily implicated in this unanticipated death of a middle-aged man with no known history of heart disease...no one ruled out the possibility of [[anaphylactic shock]] brought on by the [[codeine]] pills he had gotten from his dentist, to which he was known to have had a mild allergy of long standing...There was little disagreement in fact between the two principal laboratory reports and analyses filed two months later, with each stating a strong belief that the primary cause of death was [[polypharmacy]], and the BioScience Laboratories report...indicating the detection of fourteen drugs in Elvis' system, ten in significant quantity."{{fact}}
[[Category:Greece-related lists|Municipalities]]

In his book, ''Elvis: The Last 24 Hours'', [[Albert Goldman]] even went as far as to suggest that Presley committed [[suicide]] by overdosing on a stash of drugs that he stockpiled. David Stanley, Presley's stepbrother, who was at Graceland the day Presley died, is alleged to have removed the needles and drug packets near Presley's body before the paramedics arrived, suggesting that he did not want to see Presley's name tarred with the brush of [[suicide]].

On the other hand, some of his closest family members, friends, band members, and background singers have long disputed stories concerning Presley's alleged prescription drug abuse and "self-destructive" lifestyle. At the same time, they have not denied that he did take prescription medications for ''bona fide'' or suspected health problems. For instance, Vernon Presley, Kathy Westmoreland, [[Charlie Hodge (guitarist)|Charlie Hodge]], and [[J.D. Sumner]] pointed out that Presley also suffered from severe health problems unrelated to drug abuse. These health problems included [[glaucoma]], chronic [[insomnia]], and perhaps even [[bone cancer]]. The illness may have increased his dependency on prescription medication. In 1977 alone, his personal physician Dr. George Constantine Nichopoulos (usually referred to as "Dr Nick") had prescribed 10,000 hits of amphetamines, barbiturates, narcotics, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, laxatives, and hormones.

==Political beliefs==
[[Image:Elvis-nixon.jpg|thumb|300px|right|[[Richard Nixon|President Richard Nixon]] and Elvis Presley December, 1970.]]
In the early 1960s he described himself as an admirer of the Democratic President [[John F. Kennedy]]. In 1970 however he wrote to [[J. Edgar Hoover]] requesting to join the [[FBI]] at the height of its campaign against political activism. Most people were shocked at this, but his fans had mixed emotions. They wanted their hero making new movies and songs, but they were happy that Elvis had his feet firmly on the ground. In December of that year he met with President [[Richard Nixon]]. According to the "Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace Foundation" photo of President Nixon's meeting with Presley in the Oval Office is the most requested image in the history of the U.S. Government. [http://www.nixonfoundation.org/index.php?src=directory&view=products&category=The%20Day%20Nixon%20Met%20Elvis]

Presley told the President he was a huge admirer of everything he was doing, and asked to be made a "Federal Agent at Large" in order to help get the country off drugs. Nixon duly made Presley a "Federal Agent at large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs,{{fact}} presenting him with the appropriate badge. Extraordinarily, Presley was likewise able to present Nixon with a gift of a Colt .45 handgun in the Oval Office.{{fact}}

Presley has also been accused of denouncing [[The Beatles]] to Nixon, describing some of their left-wing political statements as "very anti-American." According to the contemporaneous memo by Egil "Bud" Krogh, deputy counsel to the President, Presley indicated in a conversation with Nixon that he was "of the opinion that the Beatles laid the groundwork for many of the problems we are having with young people by their filthy unkempt appearances and suggestive music while entertaining in this country during the early and middle 1960s. He advised that the [[Smothers Brothers]], [[Jane Fonda]], and other persons in the entertainment industry of their ilk have a lot to answer for in the hereafter for the way they have poisoned young minds by disparaging the United States in their public statements and unsavory activities."<ref>Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis'', p.426.</ref> However, during his 1968 comeback show when Presley spoke to the audience about what music he liked, he referred to the Beatles as one of the best acts around. He also covered their music, including "Get Back" during a segment of ''That's The Way it Is''.

[[John Lennon]], who had grown up an admirer of Presley, himself made more than one critical statement about him in his later years. His comment to [[Elliot Mintz]], when Mintz broke the news to Lennon about Presley's death, was "Elvis died in the army," and adding "Elvis dies and his manager (Col. Parker) lives. Our manager ([[Brian Epstein]]) died and ''we'' (The Beatles) lived." Lennon later told ''[[Playboy]]'', recalling his own period of overweight and overindulgence in the mid-Sixties, "I was eating and drinking like a pig, and I was fat as a pig, dissatisfied with myself, and subconsciously I was crying for help. It was my fat-Elvis period."<ref>Ken Lawrence, ''John Lennon: In His Own Words'' (2005).</ref>

==Relationships==
===Devotion to his mother===
The first woman in Presley's life was his mother Gladys. In a newspaper interview with ''The Memphis Press Scimitar'', Elvis himself was open about the close relationship to his mother. "She was the number-one girl in his life, and he was dedicating his career to her."<ref>The writer called Elvis "a hillbilly cat", poked fun at Elvis's closeness to his mama and insinuated Elvis was "talented but simple." Summarized by Earl Greenwood, ''The Boy Who Would Be King'', p.155.</ref> Throughout her life, "the son would call her by pet names", and they communicated by baby talk.<ref>Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis", p.13.</ref> Presley even shared his mother's bed "up until Elvis was a young teen."<ref>Patrick Humphries, ''Elvis The #1 Hits: The Secret History of the Classics'', p.117.</ref> According to [[Elaine Dundy]], "it was agony for her to leave her child even for a moment with anyone else, to let anyone else touch Elvis."<ref>[[Elaine Dundy]], ''Elvis and Gladys'', p.71.</ref> His father still openly talked about Elvis' close relationship to his mother after his son had become famous.<ref>See Guralnick, p.13.</ref> When his mother died, Elvis was "sobbing and crying hysterically",<ref>Guralnick, p.478.</ref> and eye-witnesses relate that he was "grieving almost constantly" for days.<ref>Guralnick, p.480.</ref>

===High school and early stardom===
[[Image:PriscillaPresleybookcover.jpg|thumb|150px|[[Priscilla Presley]]]]
Presley's early experiences being teased by his fellow classmates for being a "mama's boy" had a deep influence on his clumsy advances to girls. He didn't have any friends as a teen. Beginning in his early teens, Presley embarked upon the "indefatigable pursuit of girls", but was totally rebuffed. At school, anyone "wishing to provoke a little girl to tears of rage had only to chalk "Elvis loves -" and then the girl's name on the blackboard when the teacher was out of the room."<ref>[[Elaine Dundy]], ''[[Elvis and Gladys]]'', p.125. For interviews with teachers and former fellow students at Milam Junior High school in Tupelo, Mississippi, see Dundy, p.124.</ref> Presley's first sweetheart was the fifteen-year-old [[Dixie Locke]], whom the singer dated steadily since graduating from Humes and during his Sun Records time. While still a rising star, Presley also had a relationship with [[June Juanico]], who is said to have been the only girl his mother ever approved of, but according to Juanico's own words, she "never had sex with Presley." However, since the singer's death many claims to relationships have been made by women who were no more than acquaintances or had short affairs which were exaggerated for personal gain. Juanico even blames Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, for encouraging Presley to go out with beautiful women only "for the publicity".<ref>Ruthe Stein, "Girls! Girls! Girls! From small-town women to movie stars, Elvis loved often but never true," ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'', August 3, 1997.</ref> Between 1954 and 1956, when his stardom began to rise, Presley became the subject of adulation and adoration of young Hollywood starlets such as [[Natalie Wood]] and [[Connie Stevens]]. His mother believed that Natalie Wood was a schemer who hoped to "snare" the singer only "for publicity purposes."<ref>Gavin Lambert, ''Natalie Wood: A Life'', p.205.</ref> When a columnist wanted to know if the romance with Presley was "serious," Natalie's cool answer was, "Not right now." "But who knows what will happen?"<ref>Lambert, p.206. The author adds, "By this time, Natalie had learned an important lesson in handling the press. Titillating curiosity without satisfying it was always more effective than the standard denial of 'We're just good friends.' "</ref> One of her judgements of Elvis was, "He can sing but he can't do much else."<ref>Lana Wood, ''Natalie – A Memoir by Her Sister'' (1984).</ref>

===Girls! Girls! Girls!<ref>This is the title of an Elvis movie of 1962</ref>===
Several authors have written that "Elvis busied his evenings with various girlfriends"<ref>Connie Kirchberg and Marc Hendrickx, ''Elvis Presley, Richard Nixon, and the American Dream'' (1999), p.62.</ref> or that his "list of one-night stands would fill volumes."<ref>Jim Curtin, ''Elvis: Unknown Stories behind the Legend,'' p.119.</ref> According to eyewitness Byron Raphael, who worked for Presley's manager Parker, the star even had a secret one-night stand with [[Marilyn Monroe]] in a hotel room.<ref>This was sensationally reported by many tabloid newspapers in October 2006. See, for example, ''New York Post'', October 1, 2006; ''Daily Mail'', October 4, 2006.</ref> However, it is unclear whether the "sex symbol" actually had sex with most of the women he dated. His early girlfriends [[Judy Spreckels]] and [[June Juanico]] say that they had no sexual relationships with Presley. Raphael and [[Alanna Nash]] have stated that the star "would never put himself inside one of these girls..."<ref>Byron Raphael with [[Alanna Nash]], "In Bed with Elvis," ''Playboy'', November 2005, Vol. 52, Iss. 11, p.64-68, 76, 140. The article claims that "the so-called dangerous rock-and-roll idol was anything but a despotic ruler in the bedroom ... He was far more interested in heavy petting and panting and groaning" and "he would never put himself inside one of these girls ... within minutes he’d be asleep."</ref> [[Peggy Lipton]] claims that he was "virtually impotent" with her. She attributed his impotence to his heavy drug abuse.<ref>In her memoir, ''Breathing Out'' (St. Martin's Press, 2005), p.172, [[Peggy Lipton]] further relates that Presley was like a "teenage boy". "He didn't feel like a man next to me - more like a boy who'd never matured." When he tried to make love with Peggy, "he just wasn't up to sex. Not that he wasn't built, but with me, at least, he was virtually impotent."</ref> [[Cassandra Peterson]], best known as "Elvira', says she knew Presley for only one night and all they did was talk.<ref>Ruthe Stein, ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'', August 3, 1997.</ref> Priscilla Presley and Suzanne Finstad also claim that the singer wasn't overtly sexually active.<ref>Priscilla Presley, ''[[Elvis and Me]]''. Suzanne Finstad, ''Child Bride''.</ref> These claims, however, are directly contradicted by comments from actresses like [[Cybill Shepherd]], who acknowledged her affair with the singer.<ref>In her book, ''Cybill Disobedience: How I Survived Beauty Pageants, Elvis, Sex, Bruce Willis, Lies, Marriage, Motherhood, Hollywood, and the Irrepressible Urge to Say What I Think'', Cybill Shepherd talks about an affair with Elvis who "charmed" her by telling her in one of his pill-popping hazes about the time a doctor gave him an injection directly into the pupil of his eye. She also claims to have introduced Elvis to certain amorous techniques.</ref> In her memoir, [[Ann-Margret]] (Presley's co-star in ''Viva Las Vegas'') refers to Presley as her "soulmate", but very little is revealed about their long-rumored romance, only that "in a moment of tenderness" he bought her a round bed in hot pink colors.<ref>Ann Margret with Todd Gold, ''Ann Margret: My Story'' (1994)</ref> On the other hand, Elvis dated many female co-stars from his B-movies primarily for publicity purposes.<ref> Ruthe Stein, "Girls! Girls! Girls! From small-town women to movie stars," ''San Francisco Chronicle'', August 3, 1997.</ref> [[Lori Williams]] and the singer, for instance, went together for a while "between the making of ''Roustabout'' and ''Kissin' Cousins''." She says their "courtship was not some bizarre story. It was very sweet and Elvis was the perfect gentleman." She also claims that Ann-Margret "was the love of his life."<ref>Tom Lisanti, ''Drive-In Dream Girls: A Galaxy of B-Movie Starlets of the Sixties'' (2003), p.207.</ref> Significantly, there was a great publicity campaign about the romance between Elvis and Ann-Margret during the 1963 filming of ''Viva Las Vegas'' and the following weeks,<ref>See Priscilla Presley, ''Elvis and Me'', p.175 f.</ref> which helped to increase the popularity of the young Hollywood beauty.<ref>In his critical study on the "dream machine" that publicists, tabloid newspapers, journalists, and TV interviewers use to create semi-fictional icons, often playing with inauthenticity, Joshua Gamson cites a press agent "saying that his client, Ann-Margret, could initially have been "sold ... as anything"; "She was a new product. We felt there was a need in The Industry for a female Elvis Presley." See Joshua Gamson, ''Claims to Fame: Celebrity in Contemporary America'' (University of California Press, 1994), p.46. See also C. Lee Harrington and Denise D. Bielby, ''Popular Culture: Production and Consumption'' (2000), p.273.</ref> Margret remained close to Presley for the remainder of his life and also attended his funeral. It should be noted, however, that the vast majority of books (including both of Guralnick's books) on Presley contain details of his many romances and alleged affairs including many while he was married to Priscilla Presley. Guralnick says that for "the more experienced girls it wasn't like with other Hollywood stars or even with other more sophisticated boys they knew." Although they offered to do things for Presley, "he wasn't really interested."<ref>Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis'', p.415.</ref>

===Anita Wood and Priscilla Beaulieu===
Anita Wood, another girl whom the singer's mother hoped Presley would eventually marry, was with him as he rose to superstardom, served in the US military and returned home in 1960. If he was planning to marry a girl he wanted her to remain a virgin. Anita Wood lived at [[Graceland]] for a time, though the star, according to his own words, didn't make love to her.<ref>Priscilla Presley, ''[[Elvis and Me]]'', p.98.</ref> She moved out after confronting him over [[Priscilla Presley|Priscilla Beaulieu]]. Presley had met Beaulieu in Germany while stationed there with the U.S. Army. She was only 14 years old when the singer began dating her. At that time, he even had a younger girl living in his house.<ref>See Scotty Moore, ''That’s Alright, Elvis: The Untold Story of Elvis’s First Guitarist and Manager, Scotty Moore'', p.162</ref> Therefore, some authors such as [[Albert Goldman]] went as far as to call Presley a "pervert" who dated girls in their early teens.<ref>Albert Goldman, ''Elvis'' (McGraw-Hill, 1981).</ref>

Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu were married on May 1, 1967 in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]] and daughter [[Lisa Marie Presley|Lisa Marie]] was born nine months later on February 1, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee. After five years of marriage Presley and Beaulieu separated on February 23, 1972, agreeing to share custody of their daughter.

==The members from the Memphis Mafia and other male friends==
Apart from his relationships with women, Presley had many male friends. He reportedly spent day and night with friends and employees whom the news media affectionately dubbed the [[Memphis Mafia]]. Among them were Sonny West, [[Red West]], Billy Smith, Marty Lacker and Lamar Fike. Gerald Marzorati says that Elvis "couldn't go anywhere else without a phalanx of boyhood friends."<ref>Gerald Marzorati, "Heartbreak Hotel", ''[[The New York Times]]'', January 3, 1999.</ref> Even the girls he dated deplored, "Whenever you were with Elvis for the most part you were with his entourage. Those guys were always around..."<ref>Tom Lisanti, ''Drive-In Dream Girls: A Galaxy of B-Movie Starlets of the Sixties'' (2003), p. 80.</ref> According to [[Peter Guralnick]], for Elvis and the guys "[[Hollywood]] was just an open invitation to party all night long. Sometimes they would hang out with [[Sammy Davis, Jr.]], or check out [[Bobby Darin]] at the Cloister. [[Nick Adams]] and his gang came by the suite all the time, not to mention the eccentric actor [[Billy Murphy]] ..."<ref>Peter Guralnick, ''Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley'', p.72. Guralnick also writes that the singer "was hanging out more and more with Nick and his friends" and that Elvis was glad Colonel Tom Parker "liked Nick." See Guralnick, ''Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley'', p.336, 339</ref> Samuel Roy says that "Elvis' bodyguards, Red and Sonny West and Dave Hebler, apparently loved Elvis—especially Red ... ; these bodyguards showed loyalty to Elvis and demonstrated it in the ultimate test. When bullets were apparently fired at Elvis in Las Vegas, the bodyguards threw themselves in front of Elvis, forming a shield to protect him."<ref>Samuel Roy, ''Elvis, Prophet of Power'' (1989), p.87.</ref> Most Presley experts such as [[Elaine Dundy]] agree that "Of all Elvis' new friends, [[Nick Adams]], by background and temperament the most insecure, was also his closest."<ref>Elaine Dundy, ''Elvis and Gladys'', p.250.</ref> All of the singer's friendships are documented by many photographs.

==Lasting legacy==
By 1957 Presley was the most famous entertainer in the world. After pioneer band leader [[Bill Haley]] spawned interest in rock and roll in [[Western Europe]], Presley's records triggered a wide shift in tastes with effects lasting many decades. Singers in dozens of countries made Presley-influenced recordings in many languages and his own records were sold around the globe, even behind the former [[Iron Curtain]]. By 1958 [[Cliff Richard]], the so-called "British Elvis", was rising to prominence in the [[United Kingdom|UK]], and in [[France]] [[Johnny Hallyday]], known as the "Elvis of France", became a rock and roll idol singing in French, soon to be followed by others like [[Claude François]] and, in Italy, by [[Adriano Celentano]] and [[Bobby Solo]], all of whom were heavily influenced by Presley's early style. Later, as his first movies were shown throughout the world, Presley-mannered stage performers and singers appeared everywhere, from Latin America to Asia, the Middle East, and even in some parts of Africa. Airplay and sales of Presley recordings across Europe were followed by those of other American rockers who began touring there. [[Teenager]]s around the world copied his "[[ducktail]]" hair style.

For the next 21 years, until he died, Presley's singing style, mannerisms and look continued to be imitated with surprising regularity, wherever his image, songs, or movies happened to be shown, regardless of major shifts in popular culture, music, and manner of dress, all of which he had helped influence in the first place. But it was only after his death that an industry built itself around him. Many people of every race, creed and nationality taking up a career as professional [[Elvis impersonator]]s &mdash; or Elvis Tribute Artists (ETAs) as they now prefer to be called.

Conversely, a parallel industry, mostly kitsch, continues to grow around his memory, chronicling his dietary and chemical predilections along with the trappings of his wide celebrity. Many impersonators still sing his songs. "While some of the impersonators perform a whole range of Presley music, the raw 1950s Elvis and the kitschy 1970s Elvis are the favorites."<ref>Harry Stecopoulos and Michael Uebel, ''Race and the Subject of Masculinities'' (Duke University Press, 1997), p.198.</ref>

Among his many accomplishments, Presley is only one of four artists ([[Roy Orbison]], [[Guns N' Roses]] and [[Nelly]] being the others) to ever have two top five albums on the charts simultaneously.

He has been inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] (1986), the [[Country Music Hall of Fame]] (1998), and the [[Gospel Music Hall of Fame]] (2001).

[[Image:Elvisstamp.jpg|thumb|Young Elvis Presley|left]]

In 1993, Presley's image appeared on a [[List of people on stamps of the United States|United States postage stamp]].

Upon announcing that Presley's home, the Graceland Mansion, was being designated as a National Historic Landmark, U.S Interior Secretary [[Gale Norton]] noted on [[27 March]], [[2006]], that “It didn’t take Americans and the rest of the world long to discover Elvis Presley; and it is clear they will never forget him. His popularity continues to thrive nearly 29 years after his passing, with each new generation connecting with him in a significant way.”

==The Elvis cult and its critics==
===The fans===
It has been claimed that there are over 500 US fan clubs and that they exist in every state except three: [[North Dakota]], [[Idaho]] and [[Wyoming]]. According to the ''[[American Demographics]]'' magazine, 84% of the US people say that their lives have been touched by Elvis Presley in some way, 70% have watched a movie starring Presley, 44% have danced to one of his songs, 31% have bought an Elvis record, CD or video, 10% have visited [[Graceland]], 9% have bought Elvis memorabilia, 9% have read a book about Presley, and 5% have seen the singer in concert.<ref>See [http://www.elvispeople.com/about.jsp ''Elvis People'', A Play by Doug Grissom].</ref> Not all of these people are Presley fans.

A collection of essays entitled ''The Adoring Audience: Fan Culture and Popular Media'' critically examines what distinguishes fans from general audiences and explores the relationship between fans and their adored media products. Part of this volume is the article, "Fandom and Gender" which includes an examination of female fantasies of Presley.<ref>See Lisa A. Lewis, ''The Adoring Audience: Fan Culture and Popular Media'' (1992).</ref> To many of his female fans, the songs Presley sang "were secondary to his personality and the way he performed them," evoking the well-known emotional responses.<ref>Roger D. Blackwell, Tina and Kristina Stephan, ''Brands That Rock: What Business Leaders Can Learn from the World of Rock and Roll'' (2003), p.33.</ref> In her autobiographical article, "Sexing Elvis" (1984), [[Sue Wise]] even describes "how she came to terms with her [[lesbianism]] through a close identification with the feminine side of the King."<ref>Quoted in Kate McGowan, ''Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory'' Volume 5 (2002), p.199.</ref>

"Elvis's 'effect' on young girls threatened those men who assumed that young girls needed to be protected both from sex in general and from its expression in questionable characters like Elvis in particular."<ref>Joel Foreman, ''The Other Fifties: Interrogating Midcentury American Icons'' (University of Illinois Press, 1996), p.136.</ref> However, there were not only female fantasies directed at the star. According to Reina Lewis and Peter Horne, "prints of Elvis Presley appeared to speak directly to the gay community."<ref>Reina Lewis and Peter Horne (eds.), ''Outlooks: Lesbian and Gay Sexualities and Visual Cultures'' (Routledge, 1996), p.20.</ref>

"Perhaps it is an error of enthusiasm to freight Elvis Presley with too heavy a historical load", as, according to a public opinion poll among high school students in 1957, [[Pat Boone]] was "the nearly two-to-one favorite over Elvis Presley among boys and preferred almost three-to-one by girls"; yet, Presley "clearly outshines the other performers in rocknroll's first pantheon."<ref>Philip H. Ennis, ''The Seventh Stream: The Emergence of Rocknroll in American Popular Music'' (Wesleyan University Press, 1992), p.251-252.</ref>

===The ritualization of the "Elvis cult"===
There can be no doubt that it was primarily "the recording industry, which made Elvis Presley a mythical media demigod."<ref> Donald Theall, ''Virtual Marshall McLuhan'' (2001), p.129. See also Sylvere Lotringer and Sande Cohen (eds.), ''French Theory in America'' (2001), p.114.</ref> On August 16, thousands of die-hard Elvis fans travel to Graceland every year in order to celebrate the anniversary of Presley's death.<ref>Cameron Tuttle, ''The Bad Girls' Guide to Open Road'' (1999), p.192.</ref> The ritualization of the Elvis cult is also manifested most prominently through the many live performances by [[Elvis impersonators]].<ref>See Annalee Newitz, ''White Trash: Race and Class in America'' (1996), p.262.</ref> According to Marjorie Garber, "The phenomenon of 'Elvis impersonators,' which began long before the singer's death, is one of the most startling effects of the Elvis cult.<ref>Marjorie B. Garber, ''Vested Interests: Cross-Dressing and Cultural Anxiety'' (1997), p.369.</ref>

What is more, [http://www.leeds.ac.uk/law/staff/lawdw/law6dw.htm David S. Wall] has shown that many authors who are writing books and articles on Presley are part of a "worldwide Elvis industry" which has a tendency towards supporting primarily a favorable view of the star. The content of the majority of these publications can be characterized as based on gossip about gossip, only occasionally providing some new surprising details. There are not many critical, unfavorable publications on Elvis's life. An example is [[Albert Goldman]]'s controversial biography, ''Elvis'' (1981), in which the author unfavorably discusses the star's weight problems, his performing costumes and his sex life. Such books are frequently disparaged and harshly attacked by Elvis fan groups. Professor Wall has pointed out that one of the strategies of the various fan clubs and appreciation societies to which the bulk of Elvis fans belong is " 'community policing' to achieve governance at a distance... These organisations have, through their membership magazines, activities and sales operations, created a powerful moral majority" endeavoring to suppress most critical voices. "With a combined membership of millions, the fans form a formidable constituency of consumer power."<ref>[http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/law/elj/eslj/issues/volume2/number3/wall.pdf David S. Wall, “Policing Elvis: legal action and the shaping of post-mortem celebrity culture as contested space”, ''Entertainment Law'', vol. 2, no. 3, 2004, 52-53.]</ref>

According to David Lowenthal, "Everything from [[Disneyland]] to the [[Holocaust Museum]], ... from Elvis memorabilia to the [[Elgin Marbles]] bears the marks of the cult of [[heritage]]."<ref>David Lowenthal, ''The Heritage Crusade and the Spoils of History'' (Cambridge University Press, 1998).</ref> "When it's an exhibition of Elvis memorabilia," even [[Marilyn Houlberg]], professor at the School of the [[Art Institute of Chicago]], "puts on the campy art-world hat and becomes a priestess of the Elvis cult."<ref>James Elkins, ''On the Strange Place of Religion in Contemporary Art'' (2004), p.53.</ref> Paul A. Cantor goes as far as to call the American Presley cult "a postmodern simulacrum of the German [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] cult."<ref>Paul A. Cantor, "Adolf, We Hardly Knew You." In ''New Essays on White Noise.'' Edited by Frank Lentricchia (Cambridge University Press, 1991), p.53.</ref> Some fan groups even refuse to accept the fact of the star's death in 1977 (see the "Elvis lives?" section of this article).

In his book ''Elvis after Elvis: The Posthumous Career of a Living Legend'' (1996), Gilbert Rodman traces in detail Presley's manifestations in contemporary popular and not-so-popular culture. He draws upon the many Elvis "sightings," from Elvis's appearances at the heart of the 1992 presidential campaign to the debate over his worthiness as a subject for a postage stamp, and from Elvis's central role in furious debates about racism and the appropriation of African-American music to the world of Elvis impersonators and the importance of [[Graceland]] as a place of pilgrimage for fans and followers. The author further points out that Presley has become inseparable from many of the defining [[myth]]s of US culture, enmeshed with the [[American Dream]] and the very idea of the "United States," caught up in debates about [[race]], [[gender]], and [[sexuality]], and in the wars over what constitutes a national culture.

This Presley cult has been much criticized. "As one reader complained: I was really surprised that you used that article about the boring Elvis cult! You would use one on McDonald's?"<ref>Rodman, ''Elvis After Elvis'', p.75.</ref>

===Critical voices===
Indeed, there are not only positive voices concerning the singer and his life. During the early years of his career, Country blues guitarist [[Mississippi Slim]] constantly criticized Elvis.<ref>Dundy, ''Elvis and Gladys'', p.288.</ref> According to Jennifer Harrison, "Elvis faced criticism more often than appreciation" from a small town in South Memphis.<ref> Jennifer Harrison, ''Elvis As We Knew Him: Our Shared Life in a Small Town in South Memphis'' (2003), p.71.</ref> "Much criticism has been heaped on Elvis, the Colonel, and others who controlled his creative (or not so creative) output, especially during the Hollywood years."<ref>Hopkins, ''Elvis in Hawaii'', p.58.</ref>

According to Robert A. Segal, Elvis was "a consummate mamma's boy who lived his last twenty years as a recluse in a womblike, infantile world in which all of his wishes were immediately satisfied yet who deemed himself entirely normal, in fact 'all-American.'"<ref> Robert A. Segal, ''Theorizing About Myth'' (University of Massachusetts Press, 1999), p.109.</ref> When a [[CBS]] special on Presley was aired on October 3, 1977, shortly after the singer's death, it "received such harsh criticism that it is hard to imagine what the public response to Elvis's degeneration would have been if he had been alive." This special "only seemed to confirm the rumors of drug abuse."<ref>Samuel Roy, ''Elvis, Prophet of Power'' (1989), p.173.</ref>

In a recent study on the analogy of [[trash]] and [[rock 'n' roll]], professor of English and drummer Steven Hamelman demonstrates that rock 'n' roll productions are often trash, that critics often trash rock 'n' roll productions, and that rock 'n' roll musicians often trash their lives. The author uses the tortured lives and premature deaths of Presley, [[John Lennon]] and [[Kurt Cobain]] in his section on "waste" in order to underscore the literal and figurative "waste" that, in his opinion, is part of rock 'n' roll.<ref>See Steven Hamelman, ''But is it Garbage? (paper): On Rock and Trash'' (University of Georgia Press, 2004).</ref>

However, one of the most frequent points of criticism is the overweight and [[androgyny]] of the late [[Las Vegas]] Presley. ''Time Out'' says that, "As Elvis got fatter, his shows got glammier."<ref>''Time Out at Las Vegas'' (2005), p.303.</ref> It has been said that the star, when he "returned to Las Vegas, heavier, in pancake makeup, wearing a white jumpsuit with an elaborate jewelled belt and cape, crooning pop songs to a microphone ... had become [[Liberace]]. Even his fans were now middle-aged matrons and blue-haired grandmothers, who praised him as a good son who loved his mother; Mother's Day became a special holiday for Elvis's fans."<ref>Marjorie Garber, ''Vested Interests: Cross-Dressing & Cultural Anxiety'' (1992), p.380</ref> According to several modern gender studies, the singer had, like Liberace, presented "variations of the drag queen figure" in his final stages in Las Vegas, when he excessively used eye shadow, gold lamé suits and jumpsuits.<ref>See Patricia Juliana Smith, ''The Queer Sixties'' (1999), p.116.</ref> Although described as a male sex symbol, Elvis was "insistently and paradoxically read by the culture as a boy, a eunuch, or a 'woman' – anything but a man," and in his Las Vegas white "Eagle" jumpsuit, designed by costumer Bill Belew, he appeared like "a transvestite successor to [[Marlene Dietrich]]."<ref>Garber, p.368.</ref> Indeed, Elvis had been "feminized", as Joel Foreman put it.<ref>Joel Foreman, ''The Other Fifties: Interrogating Midcentury American Icons'' (University of Illinois Press, 1997), p.127. No wonder that "white drag kings tend to pick on icons like Elvis Presley." See Bonnie Zimmerman, ''Lesbian Histories and Cultures'' (1999), p. 248.</ref>

Thus, "Elvis' death did occur at a time when it could only help his reputation. Just before his death, Elvis had been forgotten by society." He was chiefly "referred to as 'overweight and over-the-hill.'"<ref>Roy, ''Elvis, Prophet of Power'', p.173.</ref>

===Presley in the 21st century===
[[Image:Elvis_30hits.jpg|thumb|right|200px|''Elvis 30 #1 Hits,'' 2003.]]
Interest in Presley's recordings returned during the buildup to the [[Football World Cup 2002|2002 World Cup]], when [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] used a [[Junkie XL]] remixed version of his "[[A Little Less Conversation]]" (credited as "Elvis Vs JXL") as the background music to a series of TV commercials featuring international [[football (soccer)|soccer]] stars. The remix hit number one in over 20 countries, including the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Australia]].<ref>It was also his first top 10 hit in the UK for nearly 22 years, and his first number one there for nearly 25 years. It topped Billboard's Hot Singles Sales chart (physical singles - legal downloads were not around at the time) but only reached #50 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|Hot 100]].</ref> At about the same time, a compilation of Presley's US and UK Number 1 hits, [[Elv1s: 30]], was being prepared for release. "A Little Less Conversation" (remix version) was quickly added as the album's 31st track just before release in October 2002.
Further stimulating popularity for the remixed "new" Elvis song, was the inclusion of Conversation into the opening credits of the [[National Broadcasting Company|NBC]] series ''[[Las Vegas (TV series)|Las Vegas]]''; due to the large expense of such a song, however, home DVD sets of the TV show feauture Conversation in the Pilot episode only.
Nearly 50 years after Presley made his first hit record and 25 years after his death, the compilation reached number one on the charts in the US, the UK, Australia and many other countries. A re-release from it, "[[Burning Love]]" (not a remix), also made the Australian top 40 later in the year.

Presley's renewed fame continued with another remix in 2003 (this time by [[Paul Oakenfold]]) of "Rubberneckin'", which made the top three in [[Australia]] and top five in the [[United Kingdom|UK]]. This was followed by another album called ''[[2nd to None]]'', a collection of his hits, including the "Rubberneckin'" remix, that just failed to reach number one.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary in mid-2004 of Presley's first professional recording, "That's All Right", it was re-released, and made the charts around the world, including top three in the UK and top 40 in Australia.

In early 2005 in the United Kingdom, RCA began to re-issue Presley's 18 UK number-one singles as CD-singles in the order they were originally released, one of them a week. The first of these re-issues, "[[All Shook Up]]", was ineligible to chart due to its being sold together with a collector's box which holds all 18 singles in it (it actually sold enough to be number two). The second, "[[Jailhouse Rock (song)|Jailhouse Rock]]", was the number one in the first chart of 2005, and "One Night"/"I Got Stung", the third in the series, replaced it on the [[January 16]] chart (and thus becoming the 1000th UK number one entry).

All of these have reached top five in the official charts.<ref>Three number ones, eight number twos, four number threes, one number four, and one number five.</ref> These re-releases have made Presley the only artist so far to spend at least 1000 weeks in the British top 40.<ref>On [[December 9]], [[2005]], the ''Book of British Hit Singles & Albums'' unveiled its annual list of the Top 100 Most Successful Acts of all time, based on the total number of weeks each recording artist has spent on the official UK Singles and Albums charts. Elvis Presley ranked first, with Cliff Richard, [[Queen (band)|Queen]], the Beatles and Madonna rounding out the top five.</ref>

On the UK singles charts, Presley went to #1 the most times (21, three of them hitting #1 twice), spent the most weeks there (80), as well as had the most top tens and top forty hits. In the UK album charts, he is third (1,280 Weeks) to [[Queen (band)|Queen]] (1,422 Weeks) and the Beatles (1,293 Weeks),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4648611.stm|title=Queen top UK album charts league|author=BBC}}</ref>as well as earning the most top ten, and top forty albums. Still in the album category, his longevity record boasts an almost fifty year gap between his first, and last hit album.

In total, he has spent 2,574 weeks in both the UK singles and album charts, way ahead of his closest competitors, namely Cliff Richard (1,982), Queen (1,755), the Beatles (1,749), and Madonna (1,660).

[[CBS]] recently aired a TV miniseries, ''[[Elvis (2005 Mini-series)|Elvis]]'' starring Irish actor [[Jonathan Rhys-Meyers]] as Presley.

Shortly after taking over the management of all things Elvis from the Elvis Presley Estate (which retained a 15% stake in the new company, while keeping Graceland and the bulk of the possessions found therein), Robert Sillerman's CKX company produced a DVD and CD featuring Presley (titled "Elvis by the Presleys"), as well as an accompanying two-hour documentary broadcast on [[Viacom]]'s CBS Network, which alone generated $5.5 million.

A channel on the Sirius Satellite Radio subscriber service is devoted to the life and music of Presley, with all broadcasts originating from Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.

In a list{{citeneeded}} of the greatest English language singers of the 20th century, as compiled by BBC Radio, Presley was ranked second. The poll was topped by [[Frank Sinatra]], with [[Nat King Cole]] and [[Ella Fitzgerald]] also in the top ten.

In July of 2005, Presley edged out [[Oprah Winfrey]] to be named the Greatest Entertainer in American history in the [[Greatest American]] election conducted by the [[Discovery Channel]] and America Online.

In mid October of 2005, ''Variety'' named the top 100 entertainment icons of the 20th century, with Presley landing on the top ten, along with the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Chaplin, James Dean and Mickey Mouse.

A week later, ''Forbes'' magazine named Presley, for the fifth straight year, the top-earning dead celebrity, grossing US$45 million for the Presley estate during the period from October of 2004, to October 2005. ''Forbes'' pointed out that CKX spent $100 million in cash, and stock, for an 85% interest in Presley's income stream in February 2005.

===Elvis lives?===

There is a belief in some quarters that Presley did not die in 1977. Many fans persist in claiming he is still alive, that he went into hiding for various reasons. This claim is allegedly backed up by thousands of so-called [[Elvis sightings]] that have occurred in the years since his death.<ref>The Elvis Presley Online Store, "[http://elvis-lives.8m.com/iselvisalive.html Is Elvis alive or dead?]"</ref> Critics of the notion state that a number of Presley impersonators can easily be mistaken for Presley and that the urban legend is merely the result of fans not wanting to accept his death.

Two main reasons are given in support of the belief that Presley faked his death:

*On his grave, his middle name Aron is misspelled as Aaron. Presley's parents went to great lengths to remove the double 'A' on his official birth certificate after his twin brother Jesse Garon was stillborn,<ref>[http://www.entertainment-geekly.com/web/general/aug2002/advisor_elvis Elvis Day: The Fanboy Advisor]</ref>

*"Hours after Presley's death was announced, a man by the name of Jon Burrows (Presley's traveling alias) purchased a one way ticket with cash to Buenos Aires."<ref>"[http://www.elvisisjesse.com/Is_Elvis_Alive_/is_elvis_alive_.html Is Elvis Alive?]", which does not elaborate or give any source for this claim.</ref>

Two [[tabloid newspaper]]s, the ''[[Weekly World News]]'' and ''[[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun]]'', ran articles covering the continuing "life" of Presley after his death, in great detail, including a broken leg from a motorcycle accident, all the way up to his purported "real death" in the mid 1990s.{{fact}} However, since his "real death", the ''Weekly World News'' has continued to claim he is still alive, thus contradicting its initial story.

Both ETAs and the belief that Presley still lives figure into the story of ''[[Bubba Ho-tep]]'', which features him living in a Texas nursing home after switching lives with an Elvis impersonator (Presley goes so far as to make a living "impersonating" himself). According to the movie, it was the impersonator who died in 1977, but the documentation of the switch was accidentally destroyed, preventing Presley from ever reclaiming his "real" life.

==FBI files on Presley==
As Presley was a very popular star, the [[FBI]] had files on him of more than 600 pages.<ref>See Thomas Fensch, ''The FBI Files on Elvis Presley'' (New Century Books, 2001).</ref> According to Thomas Fensch, the texts from the FBI reports dating from 1959 to 1981 represent a "microcosm [of Presley's] behind-the-scenes life." For instance, the FBI was interested in death threats made against the singer, the likelihood of Presley being the victim of [[blackmail]] and particularly a "major extortion attempt" while he was in the [[Army]] in [[Germany]], complaints about his public performances, a paternity suit, the theft by larceny of an executive jet which he owned and the alleged fraud surrounding a 1955 [[Corvette]] which he owned, and similar things.

===Presley as a victim of blackmail===
According to one of the FBI accounts, Elvis was the victim of blackmailer Laurens Johannes Griessel-Landau of [[Johannesburg]], [[South Africa]], who was hired by the singer in [[Bad Nauheim]], Germany, as an alleged specialist in the field of [[dermatology]], but had made [[homosexual]] passes at the singer and his friends. When on 24 December 1959 Presley decided to discontinue the skin treatments, Griessel-Landau "threatened to expose Presley by photographs and tape recordings which are alleged to present Presley in compromising situations." An investigation determined that Griessel-Landau was not a medical doctor. Finally, "By negotiation, Presley agreed to pay Griessel-Landau $200.00 for treatments received and also to furnish him with a $315.00 plane fare to London, England." After having "demanded an additional $250.00, which Presley paid" and a further "telephonic demand for 2,000 £ for the loss of his practice which he closed in Johannesburg", the blackmailer departed to England.

==Trivia==
{{toomuchtrivia}}
===Music===
*Following an unsuccessful 1954 appearance on the [[Grand Ole Opry]], Presley was allegedly told by one of the program's producers, "You ain't going nowhere, son. You may as well stick to driving a truck."
*Has won three Grammy awards, all for his gospel recordings. These were for the 1967 "How Great Thou Art" LP, for the 1972 LP, "He Touched Me" and, in 1974, for the song "How Great Thou Art" (live).
* ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' historian [[Joel Whitburn]] declared Presley the "#1 act of the Rock era", beating out [[The Beatles]], based upon his dominance of ''Billboard''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> list of top 100 singles artists since 1955.

===Acting===
* Presley made only one television commercial, an ad for Southern Maid Doughnuts that ran in 1954.
*On his third and final appearance ([[January 6]], [[1957]]) on the ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]'', Sullivan was so impressed by Presley that he pointed to him and told the audience "This is a real decent, fine boy. We've never had a pleasanter experience on our show with a big name than we've had with you ... You're thoroughly all right." Presley remains the only one on Sullivan's show to have received such a warm and personal accolade. However, it has also been said that Presley's manager orchestrated the compliment in exchange for permitting Presley to appear, after Sullivan had earlier publicly stated his refusal to allow Presley on his program.
* He was offered the lead role of Tony in the film adaptation of the [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] musical ''[[West Side Story]].'' Despite Presley's arguments that it would legitimize his acting career, "Colonel" Parker forced Presley to turn it down thinking that it was non-commercial. The film won ten [[Academy Awards]] including [[Best Picture]].

===Finances===

*When Presley was drafted into the US Army in March 1958, his monthly pay went from $100,000 to $78.
*Presley's estate earns over 40 million dollars every year which is a record for a deceased entertainer.
* In 2006, and for the sixth year straight, Presley was named the richest deceased celebrity in [[Forbes Magazine|www.Forbes.com]]. (see also preceeding section entitled, "Presley in the 21st Century")

===Personal life===
* Presley was an avid practitioner of [[Kenpo]] karate, studying under both legendary instructor [[Ed Parker]] and Parker's protégé Mike Stone. The latter would take a romantic interest in Priscilla Presley, eventually being among the causes of the couple's divorce. Presley was known to have attained at least a seventh-degree [[Black belt (martial arts)|black belt]] in the martial art.<ref>

* The 2002 [[Disney Channel|Disney]] animated feature ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'' contains more Presley songs than there are in several movies in which Presley himself starred. The film's closing sequence also features a montage of photographs, one of which portrays the film's main characters posing before the gates of [[Graceland]]. The film also broke several rules related to Presley in films which included using his photo, shortening his songs for time and dressing up like him. However, the Graceland estate allowed the producers this degree of freedom.
*In December 2004 Wade Jones from Belmont, NC sold 3 tablespoons of water from a cup from which Presley drank on eBay. The water fetched $455. One week later (January 2005), he sold an appearance of the Elvis Cup on eBay for $3,000 and currently tours with the Elvis Cup, which even has its own song "The Elvis Cup" written and recorded by a Filipino Elvis impersonator, "Renelvis". Jones says he scored the styrofoam cup at a 1977 concert the King played. Hoping for a better souvenir, he ended up getting a cup out of which he saw Presley drink.<ref>[http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051020/COL0204/510200346/1023/FEAT05 Cup (that Elvis drank from) runneth over, and N.C. man is lapping it up]</ref>

Bush]].

===Likes and dislikes===
* Presley was a big fan of [[Captain Marvel Jr]], and may have styled his trademark haircut after that of the comic book character. In addition, Presley's stage outfits (with a half-cape similar to those worn by the Marvels) and his TCB logo (with a Marvel-esque lightning bolt insignia) may also show inspiration from Captain Marvel, Jr.
* He was proud of his role in ''[[King Creole]]'' because the part was originally offered to his idol [[James Dean]].
* His favorite rollercoaster was the [[Zippin Pippin]] at [[Libertyland]]. He would rent out the park to himself just so he could ride it non-stop.
* His two favorite hobbies were known to be eating honey-roasted [[peanuts]], and beating up those he deemed to be "[[squares]]" before his signing to a major record label
* One of Presley's favorite female singers was [[Anne Murray]]{{citation needed}} and he recorded a version of "Snowbird".
* One of his favorite songs was "Something" by [[George Harrison]].{{fact}}
* His favorite film was ''[[Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb|Dr. Strangelove]]''--he was a great fan of Peter Sellers.
* It is commonly known that Presley loved gospel music. The last record he listened to was a new album by JD Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, the group that accompanied him on stage. Their record was on Presley's record player in his bedroom on the day he died.
* Presley disliked being called "The King", saying that "there's only one King, and that's Jesus."

===Miscellaneous===
* His death occurred only three days before that of [[Groucho Marx]]. As a result, the great comedian's death did not receive as much media attention as it may have otherwise received. Coincidently, the two owned houses next door to each other in Beverly Hills, California.
* Funk/rock group [[Living Colour]] recorded a song titled "Elvis Is Dead" for their ''Time's Up'' album. The song ridicules those who contend that Presley is alive.
* Country comedy duo [[Pinkard & Bowden]] recorded a song titled "Elvis Was a Narc", which mocked Presley's stand on illegal drugs while himself consuming large quantities of pharmaceuticals. A live version also poked fun at the "Elvis Lives?" phenomenon.
* Presley had a pet rabbit called Dean, after his idol [[James Dean]].
* Elvis was considering joining the [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (Mormons) at the time of his death, and may have already set a baptism date.<ref>[http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,650195503,00.html Elvis almost LDS? - Deseret News article]</ref>
* Singer [[Harry Nilsson]], a fellow RCA Records artist, was disappointed that the label cancelled a publicity push for his latest album (''[[Knnillssonn]]'') to instead promote Presley's back catalog after his death, and asked to be released from his recording contract.
* [[McFarlane Toys]] came out with a line of action figures that depict Elvis in his greatest moments like "Jailhouse Rock", "Blue Hawaii", "'68 Comeback Special" etc... there have been 6 figures released as of now.
