response: I am not sure about this information, what I am sure about it the fact that he once was the leading figure of rock and roll
original_response: Some think he died August 16, 1977 but I think he is still alive. He helped pioneer the popular sound of rock and roll.
history: I like to listen to Elvis! Have you heard him? I have not, have you ever heard about Hound Dog, the song written by Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber ? Yes, I love that song! I really like his version of ''My Way'' Elvis started his music career in 1954 recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips. Yeah! In reality he didn't have too long of a career. Its a shame he died young. His first RCA single was ''Heartbreak Hotel'' released in 1956 and became a number one hit in the US. Right, he became popular pretty quickly! When did he die?
knowledge: With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll.
