Elvis Presley’s full name is Elvis Aaron Presley. He was one of rock music's dominant performers in the 1950s and '60s, earning himself the title "the King of Rock and Roll." His singing and music style fused country-western music with the rhythm and blues of African American soul to create a whole new music style termed "rockabilly.” This sound continues to inspire and shape modern rock, country, R&B, pop, and much more.
