Our
Inspiration
Elvis
Aaron Presley who was known the world over only by his first
name and is regarded as one of the most important figures in
20th century music and popular culture. He permanently altered
the landscape of American music with a sound and style that
uniquely combined diverse and seemingly disparate music
influences. In the process, he ushered in a musical revolution
that triggered a cultural transformation that still affects us
today.
With
this in mind we honor the spirit and memory of a man who took
us all on a musical journey which combined country music,
gospel, R&B and created a sound and style that had never
been heard or seen before, in the process he became the
first genuine rock & roll icon. Elvis will forever and
always be "THE KING of ROCK & ROLL"
Today,
30 years after his passing his success as an artist stands
untouched and Elvis Presley remains the undisputed KING of
Rock & Rolltm.
He is the only artists to become a member of all three music
halls of fame, including rock & roll, Country and gospel.
His American record sales have earned him gold, platinum and
multi-platinum awards for 140 different albums and singles far
more than any other artist in history. As if that wasn't
enough the year 2002 became one of the most successful of his
whole career ELVIS 30 #1 Hits became the fastest selling album
with more than 9 million copies sold in just a matter of months.
