About this release

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: 'The Elvis Presley' stamp is being issued as a Forever ® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail ® one-ounce price'.

Stamp

An image of Presley shot by photographer Alfred Wertheimer and the logo for the Music Icons series appear on the reverse side. Antonio served as the art director and designed the stamp sheet with Leslie Badani.
