Elvis Presley

Not only is Elvis a huge stepping stone in music history, but he became an important figure in History, a defining part of the 20th century just as much as Picasso or Disney. The Mississippi-born rockabilly singer first defined the genre with his first Sun singles in 1954, and went on to record pop, gospel and crooned ballads. He was always surrounded by stupendous musicians, including guitarists Scotty Moore and James Burton.
