Its the Kings B-day

Seventy Four years ago, in a little home in Tupelo Mississippi. The king of Rock and Roll was born. January 8th 1935. A very humble beginning for a very humble man.

Why is this man considered the King? Simple, globally, he has sold over one billion records, more than any other artist. His American sales have earned him gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards for 150 different albums and singles, far more than any other artist. Did I mention that he still is selling records today.

Selling records 31 years after he has died. Now tell me what artist alive today has that much going for him? OK, I'll give you garth Brooks, but he still has a long way to go to catch the KING.
