But, not only was Elvis an incredible singer and performer, he was also a teenage girl heart throb. Girls went crazy over him. Especially when they saw his movies. He starred in: Jailhouse Rock, Viva Las Vegas, Blue Hawaii, Love Me Tender, King Creole, Loving You,G.I. blues and many more! Everyone adored his music and movies.
His journey to fame is a very exciting one. At the age of twenty in 1955, people were very much so drawn to his musical talents, provocative dancing (gyrating hips), and handsome features. In 1956,
(a year after Elvis produced his first single Heartbrake Hotel) He signed a contract with Paramount Pictures and produced his fist hit film, Love Me Tender. Although, shortly after, Elvis was drafted into the War and fought until the end on War in 1960. But, those few years of leave didn't stop him, he quickly picked up his career right where he left off and achieved the name "The King". He has and will always be known for revealing a new type of music to people, a music known as Rock and Roll.
