ELVIS AARON PRESLEY

Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January8th 1935, in East Tupelo, Mississippi. His twin brother died at birth. Elvis grew up in a poor but religious home which was typical of the deep south of the United States. His parents, Vernon andGladys Presley, were kind and loving.

While he was still a child, Elvis won several talent competitions. Later, after he left school, he worked as a cinema usher and a truck driver. This was the jobElvis always said he liked best.

The first person to realise that Elvis was a good singer was Sam Phillips, the owner of a record company called Sun Records. But the man who really guided Elvis’scareer was Colonel Tom Parker. Colonel Parker became Elvis’s manager in 1955 and soon made him into a world famous rock and roll star.
By 1956, Elvis Presley had won six gold discs. These were the firstof many which he won during his life. When he was young, Elvis had many critics-particularly from the older generation. They thought that Elvis was ‘dangerous for the morals of young people ‘Life-andpeople’s attitudes-have changed since 1956. And Elvis Presley helped to change them.
