detailed information about elvis presley:
elvis presley is the undisputed king of rock and roll. he rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence. in the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: "presley's career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music."
presley was born in tupelo, mississippi, on january 8, 1935, and grew up surrounded by gospel music of the pentecostal church. in 1948 the family moved to memphis, where he was exposed to blues and jazz on beale street. after graduating from high school in 1953, an 18-year-old presley visited the memphis recording service - also the home of sun records - to record his voice. owner/producer sam phillips was struck by the plaintive emotion in presley's vocals and subsequently teamed him with guitarist scotty moore and bassist bill black. in july 1954 the trio worked up "that's all right" and "blue moon of kentucky" - blues and country songs, respectively - in a crackling, uptempo style that stands as the blueprint for rock and roll.
