Elvis Presley's 90th birthday: See iconic historical photos of the 'King of Rock and Roll'

Happy birthday to the King!

Elvis Presley, nicknamed by many as "The King of Rock and Roll," was born 90 years ago in Tupelo, Mississippi. 

The son of Vernon and Gladys Presley, Elvis Aron Presley left a mark on the world of music that is still felt well beyond his 1977 death. He produced hits that stood the test of time, like "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog" and a 1957 Christmas album that still circulates on streaming platforms and radio stations every holiday season.

From Graceland to visiting former President Richard Nixon at the White House, Elvis’ pictures are as iconic as the man itself. Nine decades after the birth of the iconic performer and musician, here is a look back at the life of Elvis Presley through historical images.
