Elvis Presley was born to parents of the most modest means. His father, Vernon and Mother, Gladys Presley, lived in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi when Elvis was born on January 8, 1935. Fate had him live life as an only child- his only sibling, twin brother Jessie Garon, was stillborn.

In 1948, the Presleys moved to Memphis, Tennessee where Elvis graduated from Humes High School in 1953.

All around him we the influences of pop and country music. But gospel music probably had one of the greatest influences in his music and in his soul, thanks to the many all-night gospel sing-ins he attended as a Memphis teenager. Black R&B was there too, and certainly left an indelible mark.

In 1954, Elvis started his singing career with the Sun Records label in Memphis, and then later, in 1955, RCA Victor took over his contract. By 1956, he was internationally famous. Elvis was a true pioneer, worthy of the name "King of Rock & Roll".

For Elvis... WEEP NOT FOR ME Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness. Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms. I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you... ť read more

Elvis left us too soon, but heaven's choir needed him to sing with them. I miss Elvis but know that he is in a better place. One day we will all be together in love and song. I look forward to that day and thank God for it because it is coming. George Vreeland Hill
