Elvis Presley
Elvis Aaron Presley
(January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), also known mononymously as Elvis, was an American singer and actor.
Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was 13 years old.
His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience.
Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues.
In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage him for more than two decades.
Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States.
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.
His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in "Love Me Tender".
Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work.
He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided.
In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special "Elvis", which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours.
In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, "Aloha from Hawaii".
Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42.
Presley is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music.
He was commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel.
He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

Can't Help Falling in Love
"Can't Help Falling in Love" is a 1961 song recorded by American singer Elvis Presley for the album "Blue Hawaii" (1961).
It was written by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss and published by Gladys Music,
Inc. (The melody is based on "Plaisir d'amour", a popular French love song composed in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini).
The song was initially written for a woman as "Can't Help Falling in Love with Him", which explains the first and third line ending on "in" and "sin" rather than words rhyming with "you".
"Can't Help Falling in Love" was featured in Presley's 1961 film "Blue Hawaii".
During the following four decades, it has been recorded by numerous other artists, including Bob Dylan on his 1973 album "Dylan", Tom Smothers, Swedish pop group A-Teens, and the British reggae group UB40, whose 1993 version topped the U.S. and UK charts.

Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head (Andy Williams album)
Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head is the twenty- fifth studio album by American pop singer Andy Williams and was released in the spring of 1970 by Columbia Records.
Williams was less focused on covering recent hits on this project and instead selected several songs from the singer- songwriter genre.
" Billboard" magazine opined that the album" may well be titled' A Journey Through Life.'
Through carefully selected songs it conveys a message of dreams, hopes, reality, frustrations and ultimate truth."
The album made its first appearance on the Top LP's chart in the issue of" Billboard" magazine dated June 13, 1970, and remained on the album chart for 19 weeks, peaking at number 43.
For its release in the UK, the name of the album was changed to" Ca n't Help Falling in Love", and the song selection and track order were slightly different.
It entered the UK album chart that same month, on June 20, and reached number seven over the course of 48 weeks.
The song" Ca n't Help Falling in Love" was one of the two tracks from the UK version of the album that did not appear on the original release.
As a non-album single in the US, it entered" Billboard" magazine's Hot 100 chart in the issue dated February 28, 1970, and spent three weeks there, getting as high as number 88.
It also began a three- week run on the magazine's chart of the week's 40 most popular Easy Listening( or Adult Contemporary) songs in that issue, where it eventually made it to number 28.
The song debuted on the UK singles chart on March 14, 1970, and lasted there 17 weeks, four of which were spent at number three.
The other song that was on the UK album but not the original was" It's So Easy", which entered the UK singles chart on August 1 of that year and peaked at number 13 over the course of 14 weeks.
The track from" Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" that was left off of the" Ca n't Help Falling in Love" album in the UK was a new recording of" Sweet Memories", a song that Williams originally recorded in March 1968 with Nick DeCaro producing and arranging.
That version was released as a non-album single on April 30, 1968, and reached number 75 pop and number four Easy Listening.
