Today is Elvis Presley's birthday

Today is the King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley's birthday. Elvis was born on January 8, in 1935 in one of the poorest families Tyupelo, Mississippi. The situation worsened when the family's father was in jail for check fraud. Ever since childhood, Elvis grew up surrounded by music and religion, he went to church and sang in the church choir.

Presley's mother especially fallowed his son's manners, to instilling to respect the elders. It all started very simply: on his 11th birthday the boy was given a guitar, not enough money for a bike, which he had dreamed. Probably that choice affected Elvis's success of the first music. After a few months he won a prize for the folk song «Old Shep». Thus the star of rock 'n' roll was born.
