The female doll made by Mattel Inc is dressed
in Presley's "American Eagle" jumpsuit, which features colorful
rhinestones, a cape and a red scarf. Presley wore the jumpsuit
during numerous concert appearances.
Elvis' first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel," was released in
1956 and became the first Elvis single to sell over 1 million
copies, followed by his first album, "Elvis Presley," which went
to No. 1 on Billboard's pop album chart.
In 1973 Elvis made television and entertainment history with his
"Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite." It was the first,
worldwide live satellite broadcast of a concert and seen in
about 40 countries by 1 billion to 1.5 billion people.
Presley died Aug. 16, 1977 at his Graceland home in Memphis,
Tennessee.
