The King of Rock ‘N’ Roll Didn’t Naturally Have Black Hair

Elvis Presley, the undisputed King of Rock ‘n’ Roll is known for many things, and his hair was one of them. However, his signature black, shiny hair was actually a dye job. Having been born blonde, the rock icon dyed his hair to achieve an edgier look. He began doing so when he was young and he confessed that when he started out, black shoe polish was what got the job done. However, music wasn’t always where Elvis Presley channeled his edgy persona.

Elvis Presley Didn’t Originally Want A Guitar

The king of rock didn’t always have an interest in rock – or music in general. As a matter of fact, he got his first guitar when he was only 11, but immediately after he got it, he learned not just to play, but to play well. Elvis Presley originally wanted a rifle but his mother gave him a guitar instead since she didn’t want him to get his hands on a gun. Needless to say, that played in his advantage, but as you’ll learn, Presley never actually lost his interest in firearms.
