Tom Petty, a musician, was one of the best-selling artists ever. When he met Elvis Presley, ten years old, he became interested in rock and roll. The Rolling Stones, his version of punk rock, also influenced him. He formed a Mudcrutch Band, but it failed. But the formation of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers proved to be a game-changer. Petty formed the group in the 1970s, and their second album reached the Top40. Even better was their third album, with two million copies and singles sold.
