The King of Rock ‘n Roll. The Hillbilly Cat. The Memphis Flash. All nicknames for the man everyone knows by his first name – Elvis. One of the world’s most influential performers, he sparked a musical revolution and became legendary for his memorable performances, unique voice, and generosity.
Elvis came from humble beginnings, growing up in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi. He was a shy child, but developed a larger-than-life personality after stunning his classmates at a high school talent show.
Elvis made his first recording in the summer of 1953 and by the following July had his own band, first contract, and first paid concert. Elvis’ popularity spread like wildfire. In January 1956 he made his network television debut and quickly became a household name.
