Elvis Presley

Born: Jan 8, 1935

His family moved to Memphis when he was thirteen. After working
as a movie theater usher and a truck driver, Elvis began singing
locally as "The Hillbilly Cat", then signed with a local
recording company, then in 1955 with RCA. He did much to
establish early rock and roll music, bringing black blues singing
into the white, teenage mainstream. Teenagers became hysterical
over his sexual gesturing and particularly his "Elvis the Pelvis"
gyrations (TV cameras were not permitted to film below his
waist). When he died he had sold over 600,000, 000 singles and
albums. The first of his 33 films was "Love Me Tender" (1956);
none were critical successes, but they did very well at the
box-office earning upwards of $150,000, 000. Military service and
the "British invasion" of the 1960s reduced his concerts, though
not his movie/recording income. He made a in the 1970s,
but increasing weight and intense dependence upon stimulants and
depressants took their toll. Since his death his Memphis home
Graceland has become a shrine for followers, Elvis impersonation
and purported sightings have become stock subjects for humorists.
