Elvis Aron Presley (8 January 1935 – 16 August 1977), also known as "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", was an American singer, song producer and actor, who began his music career at Sun Records in the spring of 1954 when Sam Philips recorded Elvis performing several of Elvis' favourite songs with Scotty Moore (guitar) and Bill Black (bass). One of these covers was a country and western song, "Blue Moon of Kentucky". Before Sam Philips sold Elvis' contract to RCA in 1956 for $35,000 they had recorded six two-sided singles. Each of these recordings featured a country and western song on one side and a rhythm and blues song on the other. One of the reasons Elvis was so popular was because of his ability to merge attributes of what was perceived to be "white" (C&W) and "black" (R&B) music.

Ill be a strong as a mountain,
Or weak as a willow tree,
Anyway you want me,
Thats how I will be.
Ill be a tame as a baby,
Or wild as the raging sea,
Anyway you want me,
Thats how I will be.
In your hand my heart is clay,
To take a mold as you may.
Im what you make me, youve only to take me,
And in your arms I will stay.
Ill be a fool or a wise man,
My darling you hold the key,
Yes, anyway you want me,
Thats how I will be,
I will be.
