Yesterday, we honored the 84th anniversary of the King of Rock n Roll’s birthday on the 4M dance floor and today I wanted to continue the celebration on a lighter side by sharing some laughs and tidbits on the King.
How did Elvis earn his nickname?
Elvis was initially called the “Atomic powered singer” in the early-mid 1950s. However once Elvis (in 1956) became the greatest album, and 45 single, recording artist of all time he was dubbed “the king of rock and roll”. source: Quora
Did EP write his own songs?
No. Not in the sense that he sat down with a guitar and wrote an original composition which nobody had heard before. He was never a songwriter. He received songwriting credit on a few songs but they were all tracks that he was given co-writing credit on as part of a deal struck by his manager. source: Quora
Did you know Elvis was a germaphobe? Â According to Priscilla…
…he used to sip his glasses from the part above the handle, knowing that no one before would’ve drank from that part of the glass. source: History101.com

I don’t know if that makes him a germaphobe but cautious, yes definitely. Â
