'''Elvis Aaron Presley''' (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was born in a two room house on
January 8,1935, in East Tupelo, [[Mississippi]]. The Presley family
lived near poverty in the early years when upon moving to [[Memphis]],
[[Tennessee]] in 1948, the thirteen year old Elvis would become
influenced by the gospel music of a [[Pentecostal]] church.

After graduating from high school, in 1953 Elvis paid to record
two songs meant to be a birthday gift to his mother. “My Happiness”
and “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” would be his first steps
towards becoming what many would say was the greatest
entertainer of the century and “the King of Rock n’ Roll.”

In 1954 Sun Records would release “That’s All Right,” backed by
“Blue Moon of Kentucky.” Within a few days it was a hit when
Memphis radio station WHBQ began programming the record and
Presley began a regular touring schedule outside of the Memphis
area. His second single, “Good Rockin' Tonight,” with
“I Don't Care if the Sun Don't Shine” was released in September,
1954 and a month later Elvis Presley made his first appearance on
the “[[Louisiana]] Hayride” in Shreveport to the delight of a large
audience. He was signed to a one-year contract for
a weekly performance.

Elvis Presley moved from Sun Records to RCA where a few months
later in 1956 his very first single “Heartbreak Hotel,” topped the
charts at #1. Before the year ended Elvis had 16 records on the Hit
Parade, four of them also reached #1:

* “I Want You I Need You I Love You,”
* “Don’t Be Cruel,”
* “Hound Dog”
* “Love Me Tender”

In 1957 Elvis had other hits that leaped to the top of the charts:

* “Too Much,”
* “All Shook Up,”
* “Teddy Bear”
* “Jailhouse Rock”

The following year saw two more #1 songs:

* “Don’t”
* “Hard Headed Woman”

While other songs were also million sellers:

* “I Beg Of You,"
* “Wear My Ring Around Your Neck,”
* “One Night”
* “I Got Stung,”

In 1959 Elvis had four additional hits:

* “A Fool Such As I,”
* “I Need Your Love Tonight,”
* “A Big Hunk of Love”
* “My Wish Came True”

In 1960 four more #1 hits were released:

* “Stuck On You,”
* “It’s Now Or Never,”
* “Are You Lonesome Tonight”
* “Surrender”

In 1961 Elvis also had a good year with hits:

* “I Feel So Bad,”
* “Little Sister,”
* “His Latest Flame”
* “Can’t Help Falling In Love”

In 1962 Elvis added:

* “Good Luck Charm,”
* “She’s Not You,”
* “Return to Sender”

In 1963 “You’re The Devil in Disguise” was released.

Before the 1960’s ended Elvis would have more hits:

* “Crying in the Chapel,”
* “Love Letters,”
* “If I Can Dream,”
* “In the Ghetto,”
* “Don’t Cry Daddy,”
* “Suspicious Minds”

In the 1970’s Elvis had the following hits:

* “The Wonder of You,”
* “Burning Love,”
* “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,”
* “Promised Land”
* “Way Down”

A multiple [[Grammy]] award winner, in his first dozen years Elvis
Presley had 100 hits on the Billboard charts and was the most
famous entertainer in the world. On tour and on stage in [[Las Vegas]]
he played more than a thousand sold out concerts and starred in
enormously profitable films such as “Love Me Tender,”
“Jailhouse Rock” and “King Creole.”

Elvis Presley’s “Aloha from Hawaii” concert in January 1973
was the first of its kind to be broadcast worldwide via
satellite and was seen by at least one billion viewers worldwide.
At age 42, Elvis Presley died at his home in Memphis
on August 16, 1977. The cause of death was believed to be related to an overuse and overdose of prescription drugs.

In 1986 he was inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]],
in 1998 the Country Music Hall of Fame and in 2001
the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. In 2007 Elvis Presley
was inducted into the Hit Parade Hall of Fame.

The Elvis Presley estate earns over 40 million dollars every year,
a record for a deceased entertainer and his [[Graceland]] Mansion
where he is buried is designated as a National Historic Landmark.

There is also a guy works down the chipshop who thinks he is Elvis.
