Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·Elvis Aaron Presley was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935. 

·As a child, Presley attended Assembly of God church where Gospel music would become important to him at a young age.  At 11 years old he received his first guitar from his mother, just a few years later he would win a musical talent show at his high school in Memphis, Tennessee. 

·According to Elvis Presley Official Fan Club of Australia: “In the summer of 1953, most likely inspired by a July article in the local paper on the Memphis Recording Service and Sam Phillips's recording of the Prisonaires, a group of prisoners from the state penitentiary, Elvis ventured into 706 Union Avenue and asked to record his voice for the very first time. There he made a two-sided acetate at his own expense and accompanying himself on guitar. The songs he recorded were: My Happiness, That’s When Your Heartaches Begin, I’ll Never Stand In Your Way, It Wouldn’t Be The Same Without You, I Love You Because, That’s All Right, Harbor Lights, and Blue Moon of Kentucky.” 

·Presley’s first performance took place on July 30, 1954, at Levitt Shell amphitheater in Memphis Tennessee.  He was a supporting musician for the more well-known Slim Whitman.  According to the book Scotty & Elvis: Aboard the Mystery Train: “Elvis was so nervous he stood up on the balls of his feet and shook his leg in time with the music. To his shock and horror the girls in the audience went crazy, yelling and applauding.”  According to the official website for the Overton Park Shell venue this performance is what, “music historians call the first-ever rock and roll show.” 

·John Lennon of The Beatles is quoted as saying, “Before Elvis, there was nothing. 'Heartbreak Hotel’ seemed a corny title, but then, when I heard it, it was the end for me.” 

·The first television appearance for Presley took place on January 28, 1956, on the Dorsey Brothers’ Stage Show.  At the time he was 21 years of age and a relative unknown.  He performed Shake Rattle, and Roll; Flip, Flop, and Fly; and I Got a Woman by Ray Charles. 

·According to Radio Station WRKR 107.7 FM’s website: “Over the course of his career he [Presley] performed 1,684 concerts but never played for a bigger audience than the time more than 60,000 fans packed the Pontiac Silverdome to ring in 1976. This was Elvis Presley's highest grossing concert, with his highest attendance.” 

·While Presley is known as a rock n’ roll icon, he was also famous for starring in films.  UltimateClassicRock.com says: “This is a fact that often gets lost in our memory of him, but in the 13 years between his first role in 1956's Love Me Tender and his final one in 1969's Change of Habit, he made 31 films, often churning out two or three a year.” 

·Elvis’ final set of tours took place in 1977 from February 12 through February 2; March 23 – April 3; April 21 – May 3; May 20 – June 2; and June 17 – June 26. 

·According to ElvisConcerts.com: “The 26th June 1977 was the last time Elvis would walk on stage and perform in front of his fans and this show is possibly the best of the whole year as he sung rare songs such as Release Me, I Cant Stop Lovin' You & Bridge over Troubled Water. He was in high spirits for the show

and like the night before he introduced his father who he was glad was able to be on tour with him after being ill. After the show many of the band members became ill and were hospitalised [SIC] overnight.”

·Presley died of heart failure on August 16, 1977, at his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee at 42 years of age. 

·According to Hollywood Reporter: “The rock hall inducted Presley in 1986 and calls him ‘the undisputed King of Rock and Roll.’ The rock hall says he holds records for the most Top 40 hits with 104 and the most Top 10 hits with 38.” 

·Statista.com lists Elvis Presley as being the second best-selling music artist in history looking at sales between 1954 and 2016.  He falls behind only The Beatles with 206.8M in certified sales.
