There was a certain period of time in the 1950's when Elvis was without doubt the most popular and the most influential rock and roll performer, and his influence remains to this day, although it is not as great as that of The Beatles who were the next great performers and artists of rock and roll to come along after Elvis, and who remain the most influential of all time. Later, Michael Jackson bestowed the title "King of Pop" upon himself, and he was for some time the best-selling pop artist. But realistically, there is no king of rock and roll today; the throne is vacant. And rap is more fashionable anyway, in the 21st century.
Because he was the most representative dancer and singer during the rock n' roll golden age. His sex-appeal based on rock and roll dancing shows was very attractive to girls and young women at that time, and this fact used to bring many fans to the theatres to watch his presentations. That's why he was called the king of rock and roll.
Although other entertainers, such as Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins, all had important pioneering influences on early rock music, it was Elvis who had the ability, magnetism, popularity, and lasting power to ensure that rock & roll would always be an important part of the pop music landscape. As all true Elvis fans know, however, Elvis Presley was not just a rock singer. In fact, much of his appeal and impact was due to his amazing versatility. During his childhood, Elvis was greatly influenced by Gospel Music and by rhythm & blues. He combined aspects of gospel, R& B, and country to develop a style all his own. Few other artists, if any, can perform all these varieties of music: spunky rock songs like "Heard Headed Woman" and "Jailhouse Rock," lighter pop songs like "Return to Sender" and "Good Luck Charm," country classics like "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and "Help Me Make It Through the Night," blues songs like "Blue Christmas" and "A Mess of Blues," middle-of-the-road standards like "My Way" and "What Now My Love," sensitive ballads like "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "It's Now or Never," and religious songs like "How Great Thou Art" and "Crying in the Chapel."
Actually, Elvis is more than the King of Rock & Roll; he is a cultural phenomenon who has affected our entire society. It has been more than twenty years since Elvis died; yet his popularity is still very much alive. Each year millions of dollars' of Elvis products continue to sell and hundreds of thousands of his fans visit his former home Graceland. Clearly, interest in his music and life is still strong.
