the King
Crown-wearing ruler
The King refers to Elvis Presley, the American singer whose influence on popular music was so profound that the title needs no further specification.
The definite article signals unique status—there are many kings, but only one the King.
Similarly, the King of Pop designates Michael Jackson.
In religious contexts, the King may refer to God or Jesus Christ.
