One of the most popular American singers of the twentieth century was Elvis Presley.He made the Rock&Roll music popular around the world.He sold millions of records and made many successful films,and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.
Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935.His parents were simple country pepole who often took him to church,where he learned to sing and he never forget the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.
when he was a teenager,Elvis moved from Tulepo to Memphis in Tennessee,where he attended high school,but he was not a good student.His only real interest was singing.He began to sing in the style that is called"country and western".
In 1995 he recorded some songs for his mother's birthday.The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music.There was something different about it.It was country and western music,but it also sounded a little like the music,which black people used to sing in the American South,known as"blues".
Shortly after that,Elvis went to Hollywood and began to apper in films like Love Me Tender and King Creole.
But Elvis found it hard to live with success,like many other entertainment personalities.He began to take drugs and his health began to suffer.When he died at an early age of 42 in 1977,his many millions of fans were shocked."The King Is Dead!"the newspaper said.But today his memory and his music live on and he will always be remernbered as the King of Rock& Roll.
