Elvis Presley was more than just a top-selling musician. He was a movie star and a military man. After achieving massive fame from hits like “Hound Dog” and “Love Me Tender,” Presley was drafted into the army. He served for two years before being honorably discharged and donating his whole salary to charity. He also got his iconic haircut during basic training.
Because of his massive success, Presley has been inducted into five music halls of fame – from the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Country Hall of Fame to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Even today, he remains one of the most culturally significant people in the history of American pop culture. Plus, who doesn’t love a good Elvis impersonator?
