Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, as a twinless twin, and when he was 13 years old, he and his family relocated to Memphis, Tennessee. His music career began there in 1954, when he recorded a song with producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was an early popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who managed the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. He was regarded as the leading figure of rock and roll after a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
Tommy is a given name that is usually the English diminutive of Thomas. The name also could refer to:

Nancy Sandra Sinatra (born June 8, 1940) is an American singer and actress. She is the daughter of the late singer/actor Frank Sinatra and is widely known for her 1966 signature hit "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'".
Other defining recordings include "Sugar Town", the 1967 number one "Somethin' Stupid" (a duet with her father), the title song from the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, several collaborations with Lee Hazlewood such as "Jackson", and her cover of Cher's "Bang Bang", which was used in the opening sequence of Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill Bill: Volume 1.
Nancy Sinatra began her career as a singer and actress in the early 1960s, but initially achieved success only in Europe and Japan. In early 1966 she had a transatlantic number-one hit with "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'". She appeared on TV in high boots, and with colorfully dressed go-go dancers, creating a popular and enduring image of the Swinging Sixties. The song was written by Lee Hazlewood, who wrote and produced most of her hits and sang with her on several duets, including the critical and cult favorite "Some Velvet Morning". In 1966 and 1967, Sinatra charted with 13 titles, all of which featured Billy Strange as arranger and conductor.

Sing, boy, sing
Sing all your blues away
Whenever I get lonely
Sing, boy, sing
When life goes kinda sadly
Sing, boy, sing
When I start to open my
Mouth and sing a little song
Makes everything right
That once seemed wrong
Even the cuckoo in
The clock on the wall
Is just having himself
A natural ball
Sing, boy, sing
Things are better
Sing, boy, sing
Yeah, better
Sing, boy, sing
Sing all your blues away
Now, a girl can
Make you happy
Sing, boy, sing
But might just
Make me lonely
Sing, boy, sing
When I start to open my
Mouth and sing a little song
Makes it easy to forget
What she done wrong
I thought I couldn't do it
But I set out to try
Sang a little song
And forgot how to cry
Sing, boy, sing
Things are better
Sing, boy, sing
Yeah, better
Sing, boy, sing
Sing all your blues away
(Sing all your blues away)
(Sing all your blues away)
Well, I've done
A lot of traveling
Sing, boy, sing
Just like ball of
Twine unravelling
Sing, boy, sing
When you start to open your
Mouth and sing a little song
Hop on a choo-choo
Let it chug on along
It makes no difference
If I get bad news
I just sing this song
And say, so long blues
Sing, boy, sing (sing, boy)
Sing, boy, sing (sing, boy)
Sing, boy, sing
