 Elvis Presley

"King of Rock and Roll"

Inducted by Julian and Sean Lennon

Refer to Wikipedia for Elvis Presley's career, artistry, legacy, discography, and so much more that highlighted the one and only, Elvis Presley.

Elvis Presley is so well known in historic pop culture - music and personality.  To date, his iconic status as "king of rock and roll" remains with little challenge to upset.

And so in this post, like the previous nine, I will highlight...

- Noteworthy Mentions -
