Elvis Aaron (or Aron) Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
33 years after his death 38% of Americans name Elvis Presley as the greatest rock'n'roll star ever. On the list of 128 performers named no one else even breaks a single digits; second - with four percent - is Jimi Hendrix.
49 % of all American adults say they're Presley fans. Among people age 55 to 64, 66% are Elvis fans. Among young adults, age 18 to 34, 38% are Elvis fans.
The man's personal character is more problematic for some. 34% say Elvis was a good role model for Americans today, and mere 5% call him an "excellent" role model.His ratings as a role model are weakest in the oldest age group - some of whom may have watched thoserotating hips and sneering lips, and wondered what this world was coming to.
