Elvis was born very, very poor in Tupelo, Mississippi, as 1 of a set of twins - his brother dying shortly after birth. The family scraped for all they had, living in a "shotgun" style house on the wrong side of the tracks. Elvis worked his way up the hard way including through the Army and sang every kind of music. He broke a lot of racial barriers and pushed music more towards rock in the 50's. Personally, I love his gospel stuff. 😊❤

Elvis released this song in 1969 when racial tensions in America were at a high point; and because of the song's very sensitive subject matter Elvis's manager told him not to record it because it would be a "flop" and would damage Elvis's career. But Elvis knew he had to do it and the song became an international hit reaching #3 in the U.S & Denmark, #2 in Canada, United Kingdom & Switzerland, #1 in Australia, #1 Ireland, #1 Belgium, #1 West Germany, #1 Sweden, #1 Spain, #1 Norway, #1 New Zealand, #6 Austria. Let's be thankful Elvis didn't take his manager's advice!

Elvis changed the music and the culture. A boy who grew up in white and black Baptist churches in the segregated south's poorest neighborhoods during and after the Great Depression is what formed his foundation. He was vehemently against racism and was for freedom. He was born in a two room shotgun shack with two lightbulbs that his father built and lived there for several years before they moved from state project to state project. He was dirt poor but ran off to play with black kids and sing with black churches, unheard of in the South during segregation. When he made it big., songs like this and even "If I Can Dream" which was his personal tribute to MLK which he performed to end his TV special in 1968 after MLK was shot in Memphis (Elvis' hometown.) He may be called the King of Rock, but the man had performed over 800 songs that spread many genres, Rock, Gospel, Country, Pop, Blues, Psychedelic, Opera, Rockabilly. Try Jailhouse Rock from the movie, one of the first rock videos.... and Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes --- LIVE in front of an audience from the 1950s

Elvis did grow up across the tracks, so to speak, in the poorest section of town with the black community in that area, so yes, he does know the ghetto. Having said that, it was actually Mac Davis who wrote this song. Mac passed away the end of last year & was a prolific writer as well as a singer & actor as well...he also had a variety show in the 70s. Check him out sometime. And Elvis was capable of singing anything. But you need to remember he was the 50s-70s so Rock n Roll was in it's infancy at that time & rock n roll sounded diff back then.

Elvis grew up listening to multiple genres and in the 70s he would sing them all. Elvis's career went through different stages. The 50s when rock was born Presley was the major performer. He was the first Rock star. To sample what he did react to the Jailhouse Rock video from 57. In the 60s he mixed rock'n'roll with some pop and made several movies. After 61 the films took up most of his time so he didn't do any live shows until the late 60s and 70s where as I mentioned he performed music in many styles, including rock'n'roll, country, blues and ballads. In the 50s he so dominated rock'n'roll and had such an influence on how that genre would develop(including the formation of the Beatles) that he was called the King of rock'n'roll and the name would stick even when he sang less of it later. Elvis didn't grow up in an urban ghetto but his family was very poor. One place he lived , as a boy, in Mississippi was a neighborhood populated by African-American families who were better off than his. They helped to take care of him. Presley never forgot this. It's also where he listened to a lot of gospel and Blues, the building blocks for rock'n'roll.

@@elvispresleydaily3952 I understand what you are saying. I understand his rejects. I have been involved in the recording industry off and on since 1976. I count what I can hear and know there will continue to be released unreleased material. Full songs. But I think we are on the same page but just look at it in different perspective. Still An amazing number.

Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and moved to Memphis, Tennessee and that is where he lived until his death in 1977 the home he lived in is called Graceland and it is a big tourist attraction along with a big complex across the street that houses a lot of his memorable. You ever get a chance to go you should it is very interesting.

Elvis grew up in the ghetto of the ghettos outside of Tupelo in a 2 room dirt floor shack. He had always kept a close bond to the black community and was a member of a local black church and in the choir. He stated that if he he had to choose a single genre of music it would be gospel over rock and roll. Over the years he has many different backup singers, the most well know was The Sweet Insperations that included Cissy Houston. Whitney's mother. There's a very good video on KZfaq titled Elvis and the Black Community that tells the story well.

Elvis grew up poor. When he started he was hated because of his music and dance moves. It was considered X Rated. He sang many different geners, his Gospel is amazung. Jailhouse Rock, Hound Dog, Blue Suede Shoes are some of his Rock songs. Also his 1968 live of If I Can Dream gives me chills every time I hear it. He wrote that after MLK Jr. And Bobby Kennedy were shot and still rings true today.

He was the King of Rock and Roll. there is a difference between the original Rock and Roll and todays Rock music. Elvis was the start of everything you hear today. When he started out he traveled with Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison they are the LEGENDS and Heart of Rock and Roll. I saw one commenter mention the video Elvis and The Black Community, it is definitely worth a watch.
