Read by Elvis Presley

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977), born in Tupelo, Mississippi, was an American singer and actor. Referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll," he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century.

The following audio clips are from an interview in 1960, and press conferences in 1970 and 1972
