Elvis Presley: PSH may have given it a solid go, but he was an actor, not the King of Rock 'n' Roll. In order to preside over such a genre, one must rock by example, which Elvis certainly did, especially in the consumption department. Elvis died with no less than 14 different drugs in his system. That's amazing, to be sure, but by far the most amazing thing found at Graceland the day he allegedly died on his throne was an empty bottle of Trisoralen, a tanning medication that Elvis used to keep his portly pigmentation just right for the cameras.
