       Welcome to Elvis Presley.com.au : For Elvis Fans Only - Your one

       Elvis Aaron Presley, in the humblest of circumstances, was born
       to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo,
       Mississippi on January 8, 1935. Elvis and his parents moved to
       Memphis, Tennessee in 1948.
       Elvis Presley's musical influences were the pop and country
       music of the time, the gospel music he heard in church and at
       the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black
       R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager.
       In 1954, he began his singing career with the legendary Sun
       Records label in Memphis. In late 1955, his recording contract
       was sold to RCA Victor
       By 1956, he was an international sensation.
       His music, personality and verve touched millions, from the
       American teens of the 1950s to Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro
       Koizumi and U.S. Presedent George Bush who paid their respects
       in June 2007 as just two of the 750,000 annual visitors to
       Graceland. (See related article)
       Among his many awards and accolades were 14 Grammy nominations
       (3 wins) from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences,
       the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which he received at age
       36, and his being named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of
       the Nation for 1970 by the United States Jaycees.
       During his 'concert years' from 1969 to 1977, Elvis gave nearly
       1,100 concert performances.
       Elvis' greatest legacy, though, is the music, and the rockers
       and other musicians who built on it.
       Bruce Springsteen said: 'It was like he whispered his dream in
       all our ears and then we dreamed it'. Beatles vocalist and
       rhythm guitarist John Lennon said, 'Before Elvis there was
       nothing'.
       With a sound and style that uniquely combined his diverse
       musical influences and blurred and challenged the social and
       racial barriers of the time, he ushered in a whole new era of
       American music and popular culture.
