Detailed Description
This item is a block of 4 perforated stamps as shown in the picture.
With this stamp in the Music Icons series,
the U.S. Postal Service® honors Elvis
Presley (1935-1977), the
singer, guitarist, musician, and actor who became one of the first true stars
of rock-and-roll.
This stamp features a 1955 black-and-white photograph of Presley taken by
William Speer. In the bottom left corner, between the words “Forever” and
“USA”, is a small gold crown, a nod to Presley’s nickname, The King of Rock and
Roll™. Presley’s signature, in gold ink, is also featured along the right side.
The square stamp sheet resembles a vintage 45
rpm record sleeve. One side of the sheet includes the stamps and the image of a
sliver of a record seeming to peek out of the top of the sleeve. The following
text borders the block of stamps:
“During his illustrious career, rock-and-roll superstar Elvis Presley starred
in dozens of feature films, won three Grammy Awards, and recorded 18 number one
singles: Heartbreak Hotel, I Want You, I Need You, I Love You, Don’t Be Cruel,
Hound Dog, Love Me Tender, Too Much, All Shook Up , (Let Me Be Your) Teddy
Bear, Jailhouse Rock, Don’t, Hard Headed Woman, A Big Hunk O’ Love, Stuck On
You, It’s Now Or Never, Are You Lonesome Tonight?, Surrender, Good Luck Charm,
Suspicious Minds”
An image of Presley shot by photographer Alfred Wertheimer and the logo for the
Music Icons series appear on the reverse side. Antonio Alcalá served as the art
director and designed the stamp sheet with Leslie Badani.
