# Elvis Presley's First Studio Recording

> Presley's early Sun Studio sessions and subsequent RCA recordings ignited rock and roll, transforming youth culture and permanently destabilizing the musical establishment.

## Summary

Elvis Aaron Presley was an American singer and actor. Referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll", he is widely regarded as one of the most culturally significant figures of the 20th century. Presley's energetic and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a mixture of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, brought both great success and initial controversy.
