Elvis Presley Live on Stage -Jailhouse Rock-

"Jailhouse Rock" is a song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller that first became a hit for Elvis Presley. The song was first released as a 45rpm single on September 24, 1957, to coincide with the release of Presley's motion picture, Jailhouse Rock. Composer Mike Stoller can be seen playing piano in the film presentation of the song. The song as sung by Elvis Presley is #67 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[1]

The single, with its B-side "Treat Me Nice," was a US #1 hit for 7 weeks in the fall of 1957, and a UK #1 hit for three weeks early in 1958. In 2005, the song was re-released in the UK and reached #1 for a single week. The song, which is an example of simple verse form, eventually sold four million copies in the US, thus earning a Double Platinum certification by the RIAA.

Also in 1957, "Jailhouse Rock" was the lead song in an EP (extended play single), together with other songs from the film, namely "Young and Beautiful," "I Want to be Free," "Don't Leave Me Now," and "(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care." It topped the Billboard EP charts, eventually selling an additional two million copies and earning another double-platinum RIAA certification.

Yes it is true that Elvis slept with his mom until 18 because his home was a lot smaller than an average family's so there was no other choice than to sleep in the same bed. For others to make that accusation that he had sex with his mother is 1. very wrong and 2. ignorant. But what you bring up in your argument is factual and you have every right to state your opinion and I believe you shouldn't be attacked because of your factual statements and voice.

@qqsomething MJ Didn't changed his skin color... never heard of the autopsy they did on him? Everyone know today that he had vitiligo and it's a true fact. Wake up. For the rest its your opinion even tho he never did nothing wrong to these childrens.

respect to mj but he is remembered for his changing face and child abuse as a legacy just the same as elvis is remembered for being fat and dying on the toilet

@MJFanatic96 his vitiligo could have worked but unfortunately janet wet under the knife to be white too, mj could have got away with it but the ratio is like 1:100million an that doesnt happen to a generation. and to be frank nose jobs give it away, mj wanted to be white but he destroyed his black look and ruined himself and turned into a disgusting figure he wasnt,

@MJFanatic96 But on a Elvis vid??? Elvis and MJ were two different things. Elvis was the king of rock, and MJ was the king of pop.
