On January 8,1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi Elvis Presley was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley along with his twin brother, Jessie Presley who happened to be stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. Then in 1948 he moved to Memphis, Tennessee where he graduated high school in 1952. His musical influences were the pop, country, gospel, and R&B music of the time.
In the 50’s Elvis's singing career took flight when he started singing for Sunrise Records in 1954 in Memphis. Then in late 1955 his contract was sold to one RCA Victor. He globally sold over one billion copies which is more than any other artist. He has been nominated 14 times for the Grammy award and he won 3 times. During his singing career he served in
the United States Army.
In his Memphis home on August 16, 1977 Elvis Presley died at age 42. None really know how Elvis died but I think that he died of cardiac arrhythmia (which is a disease that causes the heart to skip beats and can cause death).
And that is the story of Elvis Presley.
