By Kelsey Pelzer, Yahoo | Elvis Presley is a name almost anyone would recognize—after all, he’s a music icon who rose to fame in the 1950s and will forever be known as “The King of Rock and Roll.” And while his songs and dance moves are what he’s mostly known for, he had plenty of insight to share throughout his life as well.
