One of the greatest rock and roll icons of the twentieth century is, of course, Elvis Presley – the King of Rock and Roll. Elvis had first shot to stardom in the 1950s, but by the Sixties he was starring in a lot of Hollywood films, primarily musical comedies. Elvis’s music was less successful, and less like by the King, during this time. Only two of eight singles released between January 1967 and May 68 made it into the top 40, and neither went higher than 28.
