Most definitely the King who had a major influence on the music of the mid 50's. Until there was Elvis there was nothing!

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), often known simply as Elvis and also called "The King of Rock 'n' Roll" or simply "The King", was an American singer and actor.
Presley started as a singer of rockabilly, singing many songs from rhythm and blues (R&B), gospel and country. This combination inadvertantly morphed into rock & roll. He was the most commercially successful singer of rock and roll, but he also had huge success with ballads, country, gospel, blues, pop, folk and even semi-operatic standards and the occasional jazz standard. His voice had a unique tonality, with a range very few other popular artists have. In a musical career of over two decades, Presley set many records, such as concert attendance, television ratings, and record sales, and became one of the best-selling artists in music history
