Elvis Presley was a young singer in the 20th century. He was known as the “King of Rock and Roll”.

In the US “Don’t be cruel” was a big hit, but “Hound dog” was the biggest hit in the rest of the world.

Elvis’s first song was “My happiness” which was recorded in 1953 when he was just 18

years old. The hit where he felt and expressed more emotion was the song “Heartbreak Hotel” which helped him with a breakthrough.

He would also attract attention from young teen girls. They would try all sort of things like pillow fighting, wrestling and even kissing Elvis, who was 22 at the time.

An interesting thing about him was that he had an identical brother who tragically died at birth, Jesse Garon Presley, who was stillborn.

Elvis Presley did suffer from heart problems aggravated by an excessive use of drugs, but a doctor, Tennant believed the ultimate cause of his death was a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS), a major cause of intractable pain and other chronic

health problems.

Our favourite songs from Elvis are “You’re the devil in disguise”, “Don’t be cruel” ,

“Hound dog” and “Jailhouse rock”.

The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool, in the 1960s that consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star (Richard Starky).

Their musical style was SKIFFLE (Rock+folk) at the beginning and after that POP ROCK. They started performing at "The Cavern Club" in Liverpool.

The Beatles are one of the most famous and influential bands of all time and dominated the music industry because the music they made was really good and people really loved it. They were a symbol for the young generation of sixties. The hit songs that made them go viral were Blackbird, Let it be, Yesterday, I Will, etc. They have sold more than 1000 million albums worldwide. The band sadly disbanded on 10th of April 1970, for many reasons. One of the reasons was that they were involved in financial and legal conflicts. After the break-up. they started to perform as solo artists, and some partial reunions have occurred.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still alive, however George Harrison died from lung cancer and John Lennon was assassinated by a fan who went insane. The Beatles have changed the history of the music industry and Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still making music till this day and are very old. Even to this date, the Beatles are very well known and their music are still considered remarkable. Music schools still teach students their music, since it is great for helping future adults understanding the magic of music.

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer,

songwriter, dancer, and philanthropist. Known as the King of Pop, he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. During his four-decade career, his contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him

a global figure in popular culture.

Jackson influenced artists across many music genres.

Through stage and video performances, he popularized complicated street dance moves such as the moonwalk, which he named, as well as the robot.

The eighth child of the Jackson family, Jackson made his public debut in 1964 with his older brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5 (later known as the Jacksons). Jackson began his solo career in 1971. He became a solo star with his 1979 album Off the Wall. His music videos, including those for Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller, from his 1982 album Thriller, are credited with breaking racial barriers and transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. He helped propel the success of MTV and continued to innovate with the videos for his subsequent albums: Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), History: Past, Present and Future, Book I (1995),

and Invincible (2001). Thriller became the best-selling album of all time, while Bad was the first album to produce five US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles.
