Sexual movements of Presley at the scene were furiously blamed as immoral, but the US youth got crazy about Elvis’s mesmerizing voice. In 1956, the first album by the artist titled Elvis Presley was released and he became the guest musician at the most popular shows of the USA. Elvis's style for the moment was determined as rockabilly.

Elvis started performing in Memphis bars after his singles Blue Moon of Kentucky and That's All Right became local radio hits. However, his musical preferences let Presley get a contract with Sun Records in 1954, after he recorded a disc with covers for My Happiness and That's When Your Heartaches Begin for his mother's birthday. He was also fond of Afro-American music and country - thus nicknamed 'hillbilly' for his tastes. At that time, all he could think about was music, but Presley had to become a lorry driver after he finished the school.Įlvis's family was very religious, so he loved gospel songs since childhood. However, in 1952 Elvis won the local festival Minstrel Show. Around the same time, he started to wear the bright and extravagant clothes, which was one more reason for his peers to ostracize Presley. The boy learned how to play the guitar and sometimes took different jobs in the evening to support the family. Nevertheless, his mother had always been a devoted friend for him. Wherever Elvis went to school, he was bullied for his shy temper.

Missis Presley and her son had to move to Memphis. Elvis's father was jailed in 1938, and the family lost their house in Tupelo. He had an identical twin-brother, who was stillborn. He inherited the Jewish, French, German, Scottish and Cherokee roots from his parents. The most famous artist of the twentieth century, Elvis Aaron Presley, was born in a small town of Tupelo in the heart of the Great Depression in the USA.
