Elvis Presley, the King of Rock 'n Roll, is a huge musical icon. While he started in the U.S., he is now known around the world, and even though it's been years since his death, he is still popular. His music and even some of his movies have been declared timeless hits. The King became so popular during his career that he no longer even needs a last name, there's only one Elvis. Now his face has been captured on this cool Elvis Patch. If you love him and his music, you've got to have it on your jacket. You'll find it in the American Patches section.
Elvis was born in 1935 and died in 1977, but during that time, he reinvented music for many people. His career began in 1954. He and Sam Phillips, owner of Sun Records, worked together to spread the sound of African-American music to as many people as possible. Later, Elvis recorded with RCA, and in 1956, just two short years after he started singing, his first single hit number one on the charts. 'Heartbreak Hotel' was just the first in a long line of hits for Elvis. The same year it became number one, he filmed his first movie, Love Me Tender. Songs like 'Hound Dog', 'All Shook Up' and 'Jailhouse Rock' also hit number one. Even years after his death, these songs are still being played, covered, and remixed.
This black and white Elvis patch is oval shaped and measures 2.5 inches across and 3 inches tall. Elvis is embroidered in black on a white background, reversing the traditional coloring of most patches (white on black). This patch can be purchased singly or as a wholesale patch.
