A multiple [[Grammy]] award winner, in his first dozen years Elvis Presley had 100 hits on the Billboard charts and was the most famous entertainer in the world. Presley's first released single was "That's All Right" under the Sun label. It was after Colonel Parker transferred Presley to RCA that he would record his first number-one hit, "Heartbreak Hotel". His early music was mainly rock, such as his hit singles "Hound Dog", "Don't Be Cruel", and "All Shook Up". He also recorded gospel songs, such as "Peace in the Valley", which Presley said was one of his mother's favorite songs. During his Hollywood career, the main music Presley produced were movie soundtracks. After his career in film, Presley recorded a slew of new material at various studios. He later had a studio built in his home that was called the Jungle Room.

===Awards===
Amazingly, despite his popularity, Elvis was only ever nominated for five Grammy awards - winning thrice. It's also worth noting that his awards were for gospel music, and he never won a Grammy for his rock & roll music.<ref>[http://www.aceshowbiz.com/celebrity/elvis_presley/awards.html Elvis Presley's Awards and Nominations]</ref>
