I had the privilege of seeing him perform when he was a young rock and roller, in the mid-1950s. He was dynamic and exciting to watch, plus for a teen female fan like me, he was really cute. It was the early days of rock, and Elvis was the first really big rock star-- young people adored him, while parents thought he was going to ruin society (the way he moved his body to the music while he was singing was very sexual, and many adults considered it immoral). As the years passed, he aged and he gained weight, plus he was taking various kinds of drugs. Later in his career, he transformed himself into sort of a glitzy Las Vegas style entertainer, which was a very different presentation from the youthful rock star he was in his youth. But even in his later years, when he was overweight and somewhat slower on stage, he enjoyed touring, he still put on a dynamic performance, and fans still loved his music.
What else can I help you with?

Who had the most 1 hit singles Elvis or The Beatles?
Elvis was about ten years ahead of the beatles. Interesting side note. In those days getting to appear on the Ed Sullivan show was a guarantee to launch a career. There was a country singer trying to get national attention that appeared on the Sullivan show the same night Elvis Presley did. Of course Elvis so overshadowed the guy that everyone forgot about him. He kept trying and finally landed a gig on the Sullivan show again. But, as luck would have it, that was the night the Beatles first performed in America. So, once again the guy was out performed and forgotten. I used to know his name but can't remember it anymore.

Was Elvis Presley famous in the 1960's?
YES he was. Starting when Elvis finished his commitment to the US Army, Elvis received an honorable discharge after two years of service, he appeared on a TV Special by Timex hosted by Frank Sinatra. The ratings were huge. Elvis then went directly into his movie contractual obligations with the quality of the scripts becoming "less and less" acceptable to Elvis. Fortunately Elvis agreed to return to his roots and surround himself with some trusted band members and completed the "1968 Singer Special entitled "Elvis"". This TV show, which showed of Elvis' vocal range and his on stage presence, was the HIGHEST RATED show of 1968. Elvis then received the highest compensation to appear in Las Vegas for his live shows. All of his live shows SOLD OUT and Elvis ended the 1960's "hotter" than ever. GREAT QUESTION by the way
