One of the most visible performers of the 1950s and one of the originators of what would become rock and roll.
In 1955, when "Ain't That a Shame" made the Top Ten. Between 1955 and 1962, he racked up an astonishing 35 Top 40 singles on the Imperial label. "Blueberry Hill" (1956) was probably his best (and best-remembered) single; "Walking to New Orleans," "Whole Lotta Loving," "I'm Walking," "Blue Monday," and "I'm in Love Again" were also huge successes.
