Rock and Roll Legend is a term used to describe iconic musicians who have made a lasting impact on the genre. Two examples of Rock and Roll Legends are Sisyphus, an ancient Greek king who was punished for his deceitfulness by being forced to roll a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down again, and Elvis Presley, an American singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the 1950s and is often referred to as 'The King of Rock and Roll'.
