🎼 The King of Rock'n'Roll
Elvis Presley
(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977).

β€œHis kind of music is deplorable, a rancid smelling aphrodisiac … it fosters almost universally negative and destructive directions in young people.”
- #FrankSinatra

β€œNo one name says more than his… ELVIS. It roars while others whisper.”
- #PaulStanley, #Kiss

#ElvisPresley, one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, and the greatest inspiration for Rock musicians of all times... enough?
