Elvis was born in Mississippi and then lived in Memphis beginning around the time of his teenage years.

Elvis Presley, in the 1950's created "the" image of rock and roll.  His early records including "That's All Right Mama",  and "Blue Moon of Kentucky",  were hits by 1955.
In 1956 , under the RCA label, "Heartbreak Hotel"was his first #1 hit.  Then came "Hound dog" and "Don't Be Cruel," which also were big hits for Elvis. 
Though the parents, and eventually the Church, rose in protest against pelvic gyrations, Hollywood was quick to sign him for movies.  He had just time enough to finish "Love Me Tender", "Loving You", "Jailhouse Rock", and "King Creole," before Uncle Sam in 1957  paged him for a still bigger roll-- that of G.I. # Us53310761.                (continued- elvis, the army, his fans…)
