Elvis Presley's 'Jailhouse Rock' went to No. 1 this week on the British chart, marking what would have been The King's 70th birthday.

The single is Presley's 19th number one hit in the U.K. and comes 27 years after his death.

The original single was released in 1958 and also topped the U.K. Charts.

The song was the theme for the movie 'Jailhouse Rock'.

'Jailhouse Rock' was Presley's third movie. He played ex-convict Vince Everett who went on to become a teenage rock star. Presley was 23 years old when he played the role.
