I can't tell you about MJ, I'm not a fan of his, nor do I really know anything about him.

However, Elvis was studying to be an electrician. As a teen, he worked for Crown Electric and was often seen driving past Sun Studios in the Crown Electric truck. One day, he decided to stop in the studio and record a record. Marion Keisker asked who he sounded like and he said "I don't sound like nobody." There are debates over the actual reason he stopped on, but the most famous one was that he wanted to make a record for him mom's birthday. He recorded "My Happiness" and "That's When Your Heartache Begins" in 1953.

As he was being recorded, Marion noticed something special about his voice so she kept a copy of the record for Sam Phillips to listen to. He did and Elvis' voice was apparently the sound Sam was looking for. A white man with a black man's voice. On July 5, 1954, Elvis, Scotty Moore and Bill Black joined forces at Sun Studio and "That's Alright Mama." was born. That song is what got Elvis his name. The three of them started touring the country under the name Elvis and the Blue Moon Boys. Elvis hadn't really hit it big yet, but he was climbing and fast.

In 1955, Col. Parker became Elvis' manager and in 1956, RCA bought Elvis' contract from Sun Records. This is the year that Col. Parker got Elvis on some great TV shows. Dorsey Brothers and Milton Berle. Also in 1956, RCA released their first single by Elvis, "Heartbreak Hotel". That song skyrocketed Elvis from fame to stardom. The very first album he put out was "Elvis Presley"

As for Charities and albums. Elvis has numerous albums. He still has albums being released today. He sang over or close to 700 songs and he was always donating. He raised money for the USS Arizona, the money that came in for the Aloha From Hawaii special was donated to the Kui Lee Cancer Fund. Elvis gave to St. Jude's and many, many other charities.

Good luck on your project. I could go on forever, but must stop.
