- 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.
