[QUOTE=Jangar]I suppose that I should let you know that it was:
Hard Headed Woman (#1 6/30/58 Billboard), by Elvis Presley was the first rock and roll gold record. It was actually the fourth single of any genre to achieve gold status (i.e. $1 000 000 in sales) after Pat Boone, Gordon Macrae and Lauri London, but still the first rock and roll record to sell that quantity. There's a record for the record books.
Had a chat about this with a fellow colleague at work today who is a big Elvis fan. He said he was quite surprised with the answer.
