"Ladies and gentlemen, you've never heard of this young man before, but one day you'll be able to tell your children that you heard musical history made tonight."

From a working class background, Elvis would rise to become the king of pop culture and an ambassador of a new age... and arguably the most beloved artist of the 20th century.
