Elvis Presley was like no other entertainer before him.

He approached life-both on stage and off-with incredible passion.

We heard it in his voice,

saw it in his performances,

and read about it in the papers.

At play,

his wild side sent him roaring off on one of his motorcycles;

at work,

that daredevil approach sent his songs

rocketing to the top of the charts.

And he transported us into a whole new era

... and jump-started a generation!
