Elvis Presley: The King Lives OnElvis Aaron Presley was born January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. Growing up poor, with his father having served time for fraud, it has been reported that Elvis often felt isolated and an outsider. After his father moved to Memphis in 1943 to find work, returning home to visit the family on weekends, Elvis became quite close with his mother. Five years later the entire family moved to Memphis and young Elvis began to sing in church. During his teenage years he would spend a lot of time on the African-American section of town, especially on Beale Street; which would contribute to his love of Blues. After graduating high school he worked as a time for a truck driver. In 1953 he paid to record two demos at Sun Studios as birthday presents for his mother. He would later return and pay to record another demo and was called in by the founder of Sun Records, Sam Phillips. In the beginning he filled in for a missing singer and eventually impressed Phillips his rendition of a blues song, “That’s All Right.” The song was released that summer and almost immediately became a local hit. Before long Elvis Presley began touring regularly in and out of state. Ironically, after his first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry, the producers did not feel his career would amount to anything. He continued performing; however and soon his music began to reach the top of the charts. In 1955 he signed with “Colonel” Tom Parker and began an extremely successful music career that would span three decades before dying at the age of 42 at his home, Graceland. |
