About

This career summary includes the first record Presley made with Sun Records ("That's All Right") before moving on to the RCA hits from the '50s ("Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Love Me Tender") and eventually to the ensuing decades. "In the Ghetto," "Suspicious Minds," "Kentucky Rain," "Burning Love," and "Always on My Mind" are the works of a creative icon who ran circles around his competition.
