He began his career in 1954 at Sun Records, pioneering rockabilly before RCA Victor acquired his contract; his first RCA single, Heartbreak Hotel, became a number-one hit in 1956. He went on to star in numerous films and to stage the internationally broadcast 1973 concert Aloha from Hawaii, selling an estimated 500 million records worldwide before his death at Graceland in 1977.
