The King of Rock & Roll had an unprecedented level of popularity; in the words of John Lennon, "Before Elvis, there was nothing." Elvis is often remembered as having two distinct phases to his career, the early, hip shaking, slim and trim Elvis, and the later, glitzy, Aloha from Hawaii Elvis. These items date to the younger years - the Elvis that first shook the world.
