The Most Influential People In History

Elvis Presley

Did you expect us to wrap up the list without even mentioning another musician? Especially one as big and influential as Elvis Presley? He’s known to be the king of Rock n’ Roll but his music was a lot more diverse than that, and includes not only rock but also pop, country, blues, and gospel. He’s won 3 Grammys, and he holds the record for being the best-selling solo artist in history.

He ended up dying of a heart attack at 42, with speculation leading to drug abuse. But his music still lives with us; many people still adore his style and music, his dance moves and of course, his beautiful face.
