It's Elvis's birthday today 8th January, when he would have turned 89 years old had it not been for his untimely death on 16th August 1977.

 

 

Elvis Presley has always been inextricably linked to Rock-Ola. As a young boy, he was drawn to the jukeboxes he encountered in local establishments and 'jook joints'. He spent countless hours listening to a diverse range of music, from blues and gospel to country and rhythm and blues. The jukebox became his personal music teacher, exposing him to a vast array of musical styles and influences and playing a crucial role in shaping his musical taste, style, and eventually, his iconic career as the 'King of Rock 'N' Roll'.

 

 

During Elvis's era, Rock-Ola jukeboxes were a common sight in diners, bars, and other social gathering places. They were essential for introducing the public to new music and served as a platform for musicians like Elvis to gain widespread recognition. Being at the forefront of the Rock 'N' Roll revolution, Elvis was a staple on Rock-Ola Jukeboxes across the US and beyond.
