There, Elvis began his iconic music career, which included 14 Grammy nominations, 3 wins, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, received at the age of 36, 18 no.1 singles, countless gold and platinum albums and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame plus the Country Music and the Gospel Music Halls of Fame. In 1957, at the age of 22, he bought the famous Graceland mansion in Memphis and called that his home for the rest of his life. Despite his humble beginnings and his short life of only 42 years, he became known world wide with hits such as Jailhouse Rock, Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Are You Lonesome Tonight, Love Me Tender and many, many, many more.
