In the mid-’50’s, Elvis Presley rose to the heights of stardom. With his musical flair, alluring dance moves, gyrating hips, and good looks, he would cause massive public excitement. The King of Rock and Roll was ahead of his time.

In 1977, he suffered from heart failure that medical experts found related to his prescription drugs. Apart from his daughter from a previous marriage, Elvis left a mark that will last beyond his death.
