PRESLEY,ELVIS: FABOULOUS by Presley,Elvis on CD
Elvis Presley - Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935, and grew up surrounded by gospel music of the Pentecostal church. In 1948 the family moved to Memphis, where he was exposed to blues and country music. After five groundbreaking singles for the Sun label ,Presley's contract was sold to RCA Records and his career quickly took off. "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" - his last single for Sun and first for RCA - went to #1 on the country charts. "Heartbreak Hotel," a haunting ballad, became his first across-the-board hit, holding down the top spot for eight weeks. Presley's hip-shaking performances on a series of TV variety shows, including Ed Sullivan's, generated hysteria and controversy. From blistering rockers to aching balladry, Presley captivated and liberated the teenage audience. His historic string of hits in 1956 and `57 included "Don't Be Cruel," "Hound Dog," "Love Me Tender," "All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock." became hits in both the Pop & Country charts. Elvis over the years scored a total of 84 hits in the Billboard Country charts. 20 of these hits including a total of 7 #1 hits are collected on this Fabulous cd.
