family was really poor and so in 1948 they moved to Memphis, Tennessee,
looking for a better life.
The young Elvis Presley was a truck driver in 1954 and
a millionare in 1956, but in later years as a

On March 24, 1958 Elvis went into the army until March
5, 1960. In 1959 private Elvis went in Germany for his duties and spent his
spare-time in Paris with friends. Elvis was a great soldier with no
priviligies.On August 18, 1958 his mother died and this event will change the
king's life forever.
During the 60s Elvis did many movies, and unfortunatly
just a few of them were good. During this period Elvis was frequently bored and
was looking for a new challenge.
Elvis married Priscilla Beaulieu (On this picture with
Elvis in late 1970) on May 1, 1967 in Las Vegas. Their only child, Lisa Marie
Presley, borned on Feb 1, 1968.
IT'S BEEN A
LONG TIME BABY..
On June 6, 1968
Elvis recorded the famous "1968 ELVIS Comeback special" on NBC
studios in Los Angeles. Elvis finally did what he loved most, singing in front
of an audience. This will mark the second phase of Elvis life, the beginning of
a new adventure.
HERE I GO AGAIN!. On July 31, 1969 Elvis opened at the
International Hotel in Las Vegas, it was his first concert since 1961. The pure and natural
Elvis did an incredible performance and it was clear that the fans
response was terrific, the KING was back!

Elvis On tour, Spring 1972
- It is in January of this year
that Priscilla decided to move to her own place in Los Angeles along with
Lisa Marie. They will divorce in 1973.
E
Elvis (here during a concert in Champaign, Ill, on Oct 22, 1976) after a
session at Graceland confided to his producer: "I'm tired...". So he
was told: "Of course you're tired...you need some rest now". Elvis
replyed: "No, I mean, I'm just tired of being Elvis Presley". But The
great King kept singing, concert after concert, till the final bow.

Elvis celebrates new year's eve
with a concert in Pittsburg on Dec 31, 1976.
Ginger Alden (Elvis' girlfriend), Vernon, Lisa Marie and 16,049 fans were
there to share the event with the KING. It will be his last.
February 15, 1977. After a concert
in Orlando - Florida.
Vacation
Time in Honolulu, Hawaii - March 1977
June 1, 1977 - Before a concert in
Macon, Georgia - This summer 1977 tour will be his last.
One of the last pictures of Elvis. The photo was taken during the June 1977 tour. Elvis was tired
and ill and a few weeks after this concert
he died for an heart-attack in his Graceland Mansion in Memphis. That same day,
August 16, Elvis had to begin a new concert tour, Starting in Portland, Maine
and finishing in his hometown, Memphis. During his young age Elvis was known
for his excellent body and for his beautiful appearance. Now the situation was
very different, the day he died Elvis' weight was about 260 pounds.
Going Home...
The last song Elvis played was "Unchained Melody" on his piano
at the racquetball court near Graceland, just a few hours before
collapsing down in his dressingroom/bathroom
Elvis once said: I want to entertain people, that's my whole life -to
my last breath
And that's what he did, to his last breath...
There are many speculations about the cause of his death, some say abuse
of prescribed medications ( he took over 8,000 pills from January 1977 to his
death )
but the
reality is that Elvis is still alive, at least in my heart, and at least
everytime
that
someone listen to his music and to his powerful voice.
