Elvis Presley
January 8th is the birthday of an important popular culture and musical icon...Elvis Presley! Some fun facts:
-He was known to many as "The King of Rock N' Roll"
-To date, he is the only performer to have been inducted into four music halls of fame.
-He was the second of identical twins, his brother was stillborn and given the name Jesse Garon.
-A nervous Presley's legs were said to have shaken uncontrollably during his first live performance. His wide-legged pants emphasized his leg movements, apparently causing females in the audience to go "crazy." Presley consciously incorporated similar movements into future shows.
