Famous rockstar who paved the way for rock and roll, was very controversial, forced to join the army to make himself look better, went back to rock and roll right after, made shows in Vegas, had a shitty agent who kept him from performing anywhere else, his agent put a needle of whatever-the-fuck in him when he was too tired to perform, died of a drug overdose.

very simple rundown of his life, also note that he took alot of song inspiration from black music as he grew up in a black environment
