Elvis Presley what a great singer, what a charisma, what a shame he died so young.
I'm a fan, at home we played a lot of Rock and Roll and I loved it.
Didn't like it, love it, still.
His music makes me super happy, especially the fast songs. What a beautiful music he left. R.I.P

First of all, my favorite song from Elvis.
Just listen along.

How does Elvis grow up?

Elvis Presley was born on January 8, 1935 in Tupelo, a town in the U.S. state of Mississippi. He's half of identical twins, but his brother comes into the world dead and Elvis grows up as an only child. It's a poor family. In search of a better life, Elvis and his parents move regularly. He is also raised very believing, and the gospel music he hears in the church is an early musical influence. When he was eleventh, in 1946, he was given a guitar for his birthday.

At the age of 13, the family moved to the larger city of Memphis in Tennessee. A few months before he takes his exam, Elvis wins a talent show. He is twenty-second on the poster, on which his name is misspelled as 'Elvis Prestley'. The students, teachers and parents present are blown away by his version of Teresa Brewer's 'Till I Waltz Again with You'. On stage, there's nothing back to the shy boy he's normal. Both Elvis himself and his classmates see this as the beginning of his way to the top. “It's amazing how popular I became after that,” Elvis says about it later.


Mortality of Elvis Presley (1977)

The American singer and actor Elvis Presley died of cardiac arrest on August 16, 1977 at the age of 42. You could say that the American was a victim of his own success. Presley performed so much and often in different states in succession, that his day and night rhythm was greatly disturbed. To deal with this, he regularly used medicines called 'uppers' and 'downers',

Elvis Presley in 1957

In the last years of his life, Elvis Presley became more and more isolated. Among other things, the artist had also become thicker due to the use of medication. According to official documents, Elvis Presley died in a hospital in Memphis. He was brought here after he was found unconscious in the bathroom of his house in Graceland. A CPR in the hospital could no longer benefit. According to some reports, Presley died of a drug overdose.

Elvis's last performance, when I see and hear this song, it really affects me.
