Elvis Presley Anniversary
Posted on 10. Jan, 2010 by charles in Entertainment, Life Stories
Seventy five years ago few people took notice when twins were born to a poor family in a shotgun shack wooden house at Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8th 1935. One of the boys, Jesse Garon Presley, was stillborn. The surviving child, Elvis Aaron Presley would become one of the most well known people in the world for his singing and entertaining. Many thousands, if not millions, of people remember his birthday each January.
Elvis Presley’s rise to fame from obscurity was a considerable achievement and that is why he features in the the Amazing People Book Series that I am writing. As a young boy, he had a stammer and other children picked on him. However, his school teacher noted that the stammer disappeared when he sang. She suggested to his mother that Elvis could gain confidence by singing in public. His mother, Gladys, took him to a local fair, where there was a singing competition. He was placed fifth in the competition, but it was the start point of his incredible rise to fame.
Therefore, look not at your problems, but focus on your opportunities. Elvis Presley touched the highs and the lows in an extraordinary life. He died at the age of 42, but had he lived he would now be 75 years old.

Hi – really great website you have created. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically sweet. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a merchandising firm. I have always enjoyed working with information processing systems and am trying to learn computer code in my spare time (which there is never enough of lol).

That rss feature on your blog here is brilliant, you should tell people about it in your upcoming post. I haven’t noted it for the first couple of times, now I’m using it each morning to check on any updates. I’m on a real slow dial-up link in Ohio and it’s rather hindering to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well

Certain entertainers remain popular throughout the decades. Elvis Presley is one such star. Since he died, there has only been a constant rise in his popularity. Today many people have a passion for Elvis memorabilia; it is a great way to enjoy every aspect of the great man’s life.:
