Elvis Prestley, who's mainly considered the prodeceror of American Rock and Roll, became on of America's most famous musicians of all time. Prestley was also considered one of America's most famous teen heartthrob musicans. He created one of the most famous singles in history, he sold one billion records, he was in films, and more. The Missippi-born musican received fame for songs such as "Can't Help Falling in Love With You", "Jailhouse Rock", etc. Prestley fame had received a cultrural impact for himself. Elvis made between 10 and 1 million dollars, thanks to merchandising. Plus, his acting in Love me tender, his first film made him 11 million dollars. Elvis played in pubs, and bars throughout the country.
Had he not decided to produce more money while making films, he won't haven't made the film popular in the country. During the filming and production of "Can't help Falling in Love With You", and the massavive successes of the music all together, RCA almost rejected him, but the following month when the film was made, he made headlines as one of America's most musicians of the century.

[edit]Help! came out of Augest 25th, 1965, and it was an immense succces for the band! Richard Lesster, the director for the film, made nearly 205 pounds (253 dollars and 20 cents). Lester was a bit weary about this though, worrying that the film would ruin his career as an film director. John Lennon did not want to bathe next to his own; he went on to say, "Oh, I don't want to bathe in a film". In Help! They came up with the song "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away". With Ringo Starr playing the tambarine. Harrison's riff on "I've Just Seen a Face" was quite faced-passed, however, John accepted it anyway.

On April 10, 1970, the Beatles broke up. about a year after, Lennon released his top selling single; "Imagine". Over the years, there has been some debate as to which it was either Yoko Ono or Brian who broke up the band. Paul spoke about the Beatles break up relating to Yoko and the solo carriers of each members stating: "We.....We were just done with John in general. We won't see him ever". And George spoke out: "We were big! But alias, all good things must come to an end".
On the 9th of December 1980, John was murdered in his Dakota home by Mark David Chapman. Before that, he released "Stand By Me", which was a cover of the original Ben E. King version. Lennon was shot while doing his bed ins for peace with his wife, Yoko Ono. Lennon's green card had since been with Ono in remembrance of her husband. The NYPD had recovered a dead carcus of John in his Dakota home where he was shot. this was the last amendance of "The John Lennon Years". The NYPD reponded quicky with the accentent; this would be the last year with him. John thought that Chapman was joking but he shot hime right in front of Ono.
