Calling all music gurus! Can you name the legend standing in Photo #4? Our Name That Star quiz takes you back to the golden years of rock, soul, and pop, and the answer belongs to one of the most recognizable voices of the twentieth century.
The Answer: Elvis Presley
Photo #4 shows the undisputed King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. The correct option is C. The other singers in the collage are Marvin Gaye in Photo #1, Bob Dylan in Photo #2, and James Brown in Photo #3, so keep those names handy for your next round of trivia.
Why Elvis Is a Music Titan
Elvis built a career that reshaped popular music. Hits such as “Jailhouse Rock,” “Hound Dog,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and “Suspicious Minds” still fill dance floors and radio playlists decades later. Many music historians credit his early recordings with helping rock and roll break into the mainstream. His lasting influence earned him a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, a recognition of a sound that crossed genres and generations.
The Secret Behind the Photo
The concert in Photo #4 was far more than a stadium show. On January 14, 1973, Elvis performed “Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite,” and the broadcast made television history. It became the first solo entertainment concert transmitted live worldwide via commercial satellite, reaching an estimated 1.5 billion viewers across dozens of countries. Elvis wore his legendary American Eagle jumpsuit, and the fresh flower leis he received on stage became iconic parts of the image you see in this quiz.
