Elvis Presley.

The king of Rock and Roll.

I want to tell you about Elvis Presley.

Elvis Presley came from a very poor family.

He was born in 1935 in Mississippi.

Elvis loved music.

He went to church every Sunday and sang in the choir.

When he was 13, his mother bought him a guitar.

In 1948 Elvis and his family moved to Memphis, Tennessee.

In 1954 Elvis went to a recording studio called Sun Records to make a record for his mother`s birthday.

His first single was “That`s All Right, Mama.”

In 1955 he appeared on TV in New York.

In 1956 Elvis went to Hollywood and made his first film Love Me Tender.

In 1958 Elvis joined the American Army and went to Germany.

When he returned to the USA in the early 60s, pop music was not the same.

Elvis was a millionaire, but he was a very lonely man.

He died of a heart attack on 16 August 1977 in his mansion at Graceland, Memphis.
