Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer, musician, and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, when he recorded a song with producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was an early popularizer of rockabilly, an up tempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. Presley later added drummer D.J. Fontana to complete the band's lineup. Elvis also popularized the four-man group of guitars, bass, and drums. Presley also added gospel, blues, and pop influences into his rock and roll/rockabilly sound. RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who managed the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. After a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he was regarded as the leading figure of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made him enormously popular—and controversial.

In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. In 1958, he was drafted into military service. He resumed his recording career two years later, producing some of his most commercially successful work before devoting much of the 1960s to making Hollywood films and their accompanying soundtrack albums, most of which were critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed televised comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley featured in the first globally broadcast concert via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii. On August 16, 1977, he suffered a heart attack in his Graceland estate, and died as a result. His death came in the wake of an accidental prescription drug overdose. Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, blues and gospel, he is one of the best-selling artists in the history of recorded music, with estimated record sales of around 600 million units worldwide. He won three Grammys, also receiving the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame. - Wikipedia

Disclaimer:  I attempt to describe items as honestly, and in as much detail, as I can. Unless stated otherwise, assume merchandise is used. All items are sold “as is”, new or used.

Shipping and Handling:  The U. S. Postal Service is used unless stated otherwise. Combined shipping is used whenever possible. Sometimes, items are prepackaged and are not easily combined. Buyer assumes responsibility for uninsured items. There is a modest $1-$2 handling fee charged for the first item, which only helps to cover all the various expenses involved in running an eBay store (purchasing stock, shipping materials, advertising, etc). An additional $1 handling fee will be added for each additional item. International orders will be shipped Priority Mail International or First Class Mail International. NOTE: The above S&H policies do not apply to Music, Books, DVD’s, Movies or Video Games, as those shipping fees are now being regulated by eBay.

Insurance:   If you would like to insure your purchase, just let me know before you pay. Uninsured items are the buyer's responsibility.

Invoicing:  Accepted payments are Paypal or credit cards linked to Paypal. Multiple purchases will be invoiced together for purchases within a 5 day period. If you are interested in items beyond 5 days, please ask before bidding.  If you check out before receiving an invoice (multiple purchasers only) the S&H may not reflect a discount.

Refunds: All sales are final unless you receive the wrong merchandise, or misrepresented merchandise. In that case, I will bear all costs involved. If a refund should be granted for any other reason, it will not include shipping and handling fees.  Please ask before bidding or buying. If necessary, additional pictures may be e-mailed to answer questions.

Feedback:  Feedback is the lifeblood of eBay. It is how we judge, reward and punish each other in a public forum. As both a buyer and seller, I have often been disappointed with a deal through no fault of either party. On my end, positive feedback will always be left for a courteous, prompt paying buyer (even if the buyer has been difficult to deal with). I expect the same if I am a courteous, prompt shipping seller (even if the merchandise isn’t exactly what you may have expected). I’m very proud of my 100% positive selling record and work hard to maintain it. My thanks to those folks who left positive messages, even when things didn’t work out the way we would have preferred.
