Pictured here is Elvis Presley, also known as ‘The King’ wandering a record store in Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis moved to Memphis with his family when he was 13-years old, it’s where he began his music career in 1954 and really came into his own.

Elvis fused country with rhythm and blues, he was an early popularizer of rockabilly. His first RCA single “Heartbreak Hotel” was released in January of 1965 and wasted no time in becoming a number-one hit in the US.

Since then Elvis has gone on to earn the largest presentation of gold and platinum record awards in history. The King has a total of 90 gold, 53 platinum, and 25 multi-platinum album awards under his massive belt buckle.
