Elvis Presley was born on the 8th of January, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi. His parents Gladys Love and Vernon Elvis Presley lived in a small house built by Vernon's father in preparation for the child's birth. Gladys was pregnant with twins, but the first one, Jesse Garon Presley, was stillborn. He was delivered 35 minuted before Elvis.

I went to his house 3 times when he lived in bel aire. My friend was a personal friend of him & she took me there. He said the F word & I guess it was a mistake cuz he said he was sorry. A perfect gentleman & better looking in person than the pics of him. RIP good man.

As a 6 year old, in 1956, Elvis went on his first national tour. He came to the Florida Theater in St. Petersburg, and every classmate throughout the area was there. A grand 3 balcony place, his performance is still remembered by us old dudes. A lost piece of history, but worth researching.

I was born on Jan 8th also, just many years later. Did you know this fact? Elvis was a man about words. He hated misspelled or mispronounced words. But did you know his own name is misspelled on his tombstone. Arron is spelled Aron! Makes you think why so many people believed after his death that he had faked it. Plus he told many people while he was alive that he would love to fake his death and be a regular person! Makes you THINK!!!!!

The Colonel drove him to an early death.

Todd Holcomb, In all the years I have seen Elvis' name printed in full, his middle name was spelled "Aron". Now, as I have looked it up to check YOUR misspelling of his middle name, I have seen "Aaron", as well as "Aron". NEVER has it been "Arron".

Elvis was a great humanitarian. If he saw a need he tried to fix it. At Graceland there are displayed hundreds of checks he would just give to someone who needed help.

Irene Townsend

Wasn't a fan, some of his songs were ok but that's about it. Just a pity he ended up like so many that do well, become famous and end up relying on drugs and a early death
