Answer 2

Elvis Presley was the first major rock star in the history of rock and roll. He was discovered by Sam Phillips, who owned a Memphis TN recording studio and a record company (Sun Records). In 1953, Elvis had come to Sun Studios to make a record for his mother; at the time, he was just an amateur singer who dreamed of becoming successful in music. Phillips liked his voice and he asked Elvis to come back and audition for him in June and July 1954. At first, the audition did not go well, because Phillips wanted him to sing traditional pop ballads. But then, Elvis began to sing a rhythm-and-blues song called "That's Allright, Mama," and Sam Phillips loved the sound. From then on, he encouraged Elvis to sing that kind of music, which later became known as rock and roll.

Elvis began to perform, and with the promotional and marketing help of Sam Phillips. Elvis also was helped by getting a professional manager, Col. Tom Parker. After Phillips sold Elvis's contract to a major record company, RCA, they took things from there. Beginning in 1956-1957, Elvis had hit after hit. He would soon star in movies, perform on TV, and become a teen idol.
