Elvis Presley's first album was the first rock album to top the charts and sell over a million copies! On it, Elvis Presley delivers hit after hit: "Blue Suede Shoes," "Heartbreak Hotel" (originally a single and later added to the album), "I Love You Because," "Blue Moon"... The record sparked an explosion of vocations (few young people aspired to become rock'n'roll singers before 1956) and the cover became legendary. It would serve as a model for The Clash's London Calling and Tom Waits' Rain Dogs.
