Elvis Presley – A Biography


Elvis was one of the people who changed music and is one of the musicians that no one will forget.  He did something special.  He sang with emotion and joy and he brought spirit to music and his love for music is still here today.

Elvis was born in Tuelpo, Mississippi.  He was born in a small white house with no neighbours, just trees.  He grew up with a poor family and not a lot of friends.

Elvis was a very bright kid.  He went to quite a poor school that was very small.  There weren’t a lot of kids to mingle with of his age.  He got a lot of good grades during school but he only went to school for a few years.

Elvis’ first major achievement was going on the Dorsey Brothers’ TV show which is an afternoon talk show.  His first record was Love Me Tender in 1956 which earned him loads of money.  His first successful record deal was with Sun Records in 1954.  Elvis is probably the most successful person with Sun Records earning millions of dollars.

An ambition Elvis had was to be in the military and after weeks of training Elvis eventually got into the army.  He was in it for no longer than a year then he had to pull out. 

Sadly Elvis passed away due to drug misuse but we will have his spirit forever.
