Elvis Aaron Presley, in the humblest of circumstances, was born
to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on
January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to
grow up as an only child. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee in
1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953.
Elvis’ musical influences were the pop and country music of the time, the gospel
music he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently
attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis
teenager. In 1954, he began his singing career with the legendary Sun Records
label in Memphis. In late 1955, his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor.
By 1956, he was an international sensation. With a sound and style that uniquely
combined his diverse musical influences and blurred and challenged the social
and racial barriers of the time, he ushered in a whole new era of American music
and popular culture.
He starred in 33 successful films, made history with his television appearances
and specials, and knew great acclaim through his many, often record-breaking,
live concert performances on tour and in Las Vegas. Globally, he has sold over
one billion records, more than any other artist. His American sales have earned
him gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards for 131 different albums and
singles, far more than any other artist. Among his many awards and accolades
were 14 Grammy nominations (3 wins) from the National Academy of Recording Arts
& Sciences, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which he received at age 36,
and his being named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970
by the United States Jaycees. Without any of the special privileges his
celebrity status might have afforded him, he honorably served his country in the
U.S. Army.
His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to
millions, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his
life. Known the world over by his first name, he is regarded as one of the most
important figures of twentieth century popular culture. Elvis died at his
Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977.
Let's repeat the last part - Elvis died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977.

in the army).
Was originally considered for the Kris Kristofferson role in Star Is Born, A

California, talking, singing and laughing with each other.

In April of 1955 Elvis auditioned for a spot on Arthur Godfrey's "Talent Scouts"

Elvis' body was placed in a family crypt in Memphis on 18 August 1977. On 29
August 1977, however, an attempt was made to steal the body but the plan failed
and three men were charged with trespassing and released on bond. Because of
this incident, Vernon Presley, received approval from the Memphis Adjustment
Board to allow reinterment of the bodies of Elvis and his mother Gladys to the
Meditation Garden behind Graceland, which took place on 2 October 1977.
The book he was reading at the time of his death was "The Scientific Search for
the Face of Jesus" by Frank O. Adams, (Psychical Aid Foundation, USA, 1972).
From the time they met up until his death, Elvis always sent a roomful of

concerts.
One of only a handful of artists inducted into both The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
and The Country Music Hall of Fame. Others include Johnny Cash and Hank
Williams.
Died with only about $5 million in his bank account.
Elvis did not like confrontation. He wanted to fire his manager, Colonel Parker,
many times. He would tell his friends "Tell Parker he's fired." His friends
would go tell him, then Parker would say "Tell Elvis to tell me personally".
Elvis never would.
"Heartbreak Hotel," which spent 17 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's country chart

Up," "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" and "Jailhouse Rock" (all 1957); "Moody Blue"
(1977); and "Guitar Man" (1981, a remixed version released more than three years
after his death). Most of his 1950s No. 1 country hits were also No. 1 on the
Billboard Hot 100 as well.
In Sam Lovullo's book "Life in the Kornfield" (which recalled his years as
producer of the country music TV series "Hee Haw"), he remarked that Elvis was a
big fan of "Hee Haw" and had always wanted to perform on the show. However,
according to Lovullo, Elvis remarked they'd have to tape his spots in the middle
of the night, knowing that if manager Col. Tom Parker found out, he'd never
clear his appearance. Several months after Elvis' death, his father, Vernon,
appeared on "Hee Haw" and spoke about how the world would always love him and
remember his music.
Hysteria over "Elvis sightings" after his death were lampooned in the Mojo Nixon
song "Elvis Is Everywhere".
His personal entourage were known as the "Memphis Mafia", and were given
matching rings by Elvis. The diamond and gold rings sported a thunderbolt and
the letters "TCB" (reportedly standing for "Take Care of Business"). Elvis was

discharge from the U.S. Army. The heaviest was at the time of his death, which
was 260 lbs.
Was always known to be generous to a fault with family, friends and even total

Cadillacs to any bit of bric-a-brac in his home, often found themselves the new
owners of that posession.
He fell in love with Elizabeth Montgomery on the set of Kid Galahad, she visited
his house on two occasions. Nothing came of it as she was married to Gig Young
at the time, but they remained good friends until he died.

Association) in 2001.
Made the ever first musical video of all time: "Jailhouse Rock" (1957).

25 and 30 million copies.
He is responsible for the best selling single of the 1950s ("Hound Dog/Don't Be
Cruel", 1956) and that of the 1960s ("It's Now Or Never", 1960).
His 29˘ commemorative postage stamp issued in 1993, sold more copies than any
other postage stamp in U.S. Postal Service history.
A remix of his song "A Little Less Conversation" which was featured on the
soundtrack to the film Ocean's Eleven (2001) became a Billboard #1 hit single
over twenty years after Presley's death.
The Beatles were admirers of his work and although John Lennon said they enjoyed
his company very much, Elvis himself, ironically, thought that the Beatles were
a bad influence on America's youth.
Was extremely proud of his Cherokee roots. Wanted to be more open about it but
was advised against it, according to some sources by the Colonel, since this was
around the time that there were still racial tensions in the US. Sometimes the
audiences were "deceived with the truth" like in "G.I. Blues" when his character
tells about his Cherokee background. In real life his Cherokee roots started
with his maternal great-great-great grandmother Morning Dove White and it was
even rumored in Memphis that he had Cherokee blood from his father's side of the
family as well, though never confirmed.
He was allegedly offered roles in The Rainmaker (1956), The Defiant Ones (1958),
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958), West Side Story (1961), Sweet Bird Of Youth

Was an Army veteran. He was drafted in 1958, stationed in West Germany and
discharged in 1960.
On December 21, 1970, he paid a visit to President Richard M. Nixon at the White
House in Washington, D.C. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon
a six-page letter requesting a visit with the President and suggesting that he
be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous
Drugs.
More people watched his 1973 Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite TV special than

Tried to get a print of Star Wars to show his daughter, Lisa Marie, the day
before he died.
He is mentioned in the song "Three Minute Boy" by Marillion (from their 1998
album "Radiation").
When he was in high school, he was on the Humes High School boxing team.
Loved football and often had three televisons set up at Graceland to watch all
of the games.
He used to play touch football at Whitehaven High School during the 60s and
early 70s with kids around the neighborhood.
Helped to support an All-Negro Day at the Memphis Zoo in 1956.
In 1975 he purchased a poor black East Memphis woman an electric wheel chair and
picked her up and personally sat her in it. The woman's teenage daughter told
Elvis she liked his car. He gave it to her and even gave her boyfriend a job.
He was a huge fan of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and had requested to meet
him in 1966, but the meeting never happened.
Was a huge fan of the televison shows The Jeffersons, Good Times, Happy Days,
and The Flip Wilson Show.
Once an Opera singer attended one of his 1950s concerts and met him backstage.
The singer told Elvis that he sang like a hillbilly and needed singing lessons.
Elvis replied by saying - "Thanks for the advice, but how many of the thousands
of people out there tonight came to hear you sing?"
Elvis Quotes
I don't sound like nobody. (When asked who he sounded like)
I sing all kinds. (When asked what kind of music he sings)
I don't like being called Elvis The Pelvis. That's gotta be one of the most
childish expressions I've ever heard coming from an adult.
Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway
back and forth. I just sorta do 'em all together, I guess.
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books,
and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the
movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned
very early in life that: 'Without a song, the day would never end; without a
song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend -
without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you. (his acceptance
speech from the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Awards)
There's been a big change in the music field in the last 10 or 12 years. I think
everything has improved - the sounds have improved, the musicians have improved,
the engineers have definitely improved. I like a lot of the new groups, y'know,
The Beatles and The Byrds and the...whoever, but I really like a lot of the new
music, but a lot of it is basically, our music is basically, rock 'n roll music
is basically gospel or rhythm and blues. People have been adding to it, adding
instruements to it, experimenting with it.
I just fell into it really. My daddy and I were laughing about it the other day.
He looked at me and said, 'what happened El? The last thing I remember is I was
working in a can factory and you were driving a truck'. We all feel the same way
about it. Still it just caught us up.
It's like a surge of electricity going through you. It's almost like making
love, but it's even stronger than that...sometimes I think my heart is going to
explode. (referring to performing)
My daddy had seen a lot of people who played guitars and stuff and didn't work,
so he said, 'You should make up your mind either about being an electrician or
playing a guitar and I never saw a guitar player that was worth a damn.'
The image is one thing and the human being is another, it's very hard to live up
to an image.
A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is
generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business -
live concerts.
I've never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show.
I'm pretty concerned, I'm pretty much thinking about the show. I never get
completely comfortable with it, and I don't let the people around me get
comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it's a new crowd out there, it's
a new audience, and they haven't seen us before. So it's got to be like the
first time we go on.
Man, I was tame compared to what they do now, are you kidding? All that I ever
did was just jiggle. (1972 press conference Madison Square Garden)
"I want to entertain people. That's my whole life. To my last breath."
"The Police filmed a show one time in Florida because of the P.G.A, Y.M.C.A., or
somebody. They thought that I was...something. They said, 'Man, he's got to be
crazy'. So they, the police, came out and filmed the show. I couldn't move. I
had to stand still. The only thing I could move was my little finger like that.
'You ain't nothing but a hound dog crying all the time' y'know for the whole
show".
"Take care of the fans and they will sure as hell take care of you."
