Mini Biography

Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January 8, 1935 in East Tupelo, Mississippi. In September 1948 when Elvis was 13, he and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee. After graduating from Humes High School in Memphis, Elvis took odd jobs working as a movie theater usher and a truck driver for Crown Electric Company. He began singing locally as "The Hillbilly Cat", then signed with a local recording company, then in 1955 with RCA. He did much to establish early rock and roll music, bringing black blues singing into the white, teenage mainstream. Teenage girls became hysterical over his blatantly sexual gyrations, particularly the one that got him nicknamed "Elvis the Pelvis" (TV cameras were not permitted to film below his waist). At the time of his death, he had sold over 600-million singles and albums.

In 1955, Elvis was cast in his first acting role in a supporting part in Love Me Tender (1956), the first of 33 movies he starred in. Critics blasted most of his films, but they did very well at the box-office earning upwards of $150 million total. Elvis's military service in the late 1950s and the "British invasion" of the 1960s reduced his concerts, though not his movie/recording income. Through the 1960s, Elvis settled in Hollywood where he starred in over 20 movies, acting alongside some of the most well known character actors in Hollywood.

Elvis made a comeback in the 1970s with live concert appearances starting in early 1970 in Las Vegas with over 57 sold-out shows. Elvis toured throughout the USA appearing on-stage in over 500 live appearances, many of them sold out shows. But the stress of constantly traveling as well as his increasing weight gain and dependence upon stimulants and depressants took their toll. Elvis Presley died on August 16, 1977 at his mansion in Graceland, near Memphis at age 42. Since his death, his Memphis home Graceland has become a shrine for millions of followers worldwide. Elvis impersonators and purported sightings have become stock subjects for humorists

 

Elvis Presley began his career as one of the first performers of rockabilly, an up-tempo fusion of country and rhythm and blues with a strong back beat. His novel versions of existing songs, mixing 'black' and 'white' sounds, made him popular - and controversial - as did his uninhibited stage and television performances. He recorded songs in the rock and roll genre, with tracks like "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog" later embodying the style. Presley had a versatile voice and had unusually wide success encompassing other genres, including gospel, blues, ballads and pop. To date, he is the only performer to have been inducted into three separate music 'Halls of Fame'.

In the 1960s, Presley made the majority of his thirty-three movies - mainly poorly reviewed musicals. 1970 saw a critically-acclaimed return to live music, followed by performances in Las Vegas and across the U.S. Throughout his career, he set records for concert attendance, television ratings and recordings sales. He is one of the best-selling and most influential artists in the history of popular music. His death, at the age of 42, shocked his fans worldwide.

 

 

We bring you 15 little-known facts about the King of rock 'n' roll

Elvis had an identical twin. Born stillborn, the twin was named Jessie Garon and rumour has it that mother Gladys saw the tragedy as a sign that her living twin was destined for great things.

Aron or Aaron? The correct spelling of Elvis's middle name has baffled fans for years. The fact is that Elvis was apparently named Aron (just the one 'a') after his stillborn twin Garon. However, rumour has it that when Elvis wanted to change the spelling to the more traditional Aaron, he found it had always been spelt that way due to a bureaucratic error. Later, knowing that Elvis preferred the traditional spelling, his father chose Aaron for his tombstone.

Elvis's musical talents blossomed when he was given an acoustic guitar for his eleventh birthday. The young Elvis, however, was disappointed - he had wanted a bicycle. However he persevered and taught himself to play a few chords, strumming away to blues and gospel songs, and the legend was born.

Elvis used to be a truck driver, earning $1.25 an hour. His real ambition, however, was to become an electrician and he started evening classes to gain the necessary skills.

Aside from three concerts in Canada, Elvis never performed outside the United States.

Elvis's first public singing performance was made at the age of ten at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show, where he sang 'Old Shep' (a song he later recorded.) The young King didn't win.

Elvis once wrote a letter to President Nixon in which he asked to be appointed as an undercover narcotics cop. Nixon gave Elvis a honorary Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs badge - a presentation which, in the light of his death (where heavy drug use was suspected), turned out to be pretty ironic.

Elvis had to pay for his first song recording - forking out a fee of around $4. He had wanted to record to see what his voice was like.

Elvis's legendary manager Colonel Tom Parker was really called Andreas van Kuijk.

Elvis gave money to several charities, each year giving $1,000 or more to each of 50 Memphis-area charities, as well as many other donations in Memphis and around the country. Most of his charitable donations were kept secret.

Del Shannon VIDEO Runaway

Del Shannon was born Charles Weedon Westover in Grand Rapids, Michigan on December 30th, 1934. The son of Bert and Leone, Westover grew up in nearby Coopersville, a small farming town. Taught to play the ukulele by his mother as a child, young Charles soon flowered into guitar picking at 14 years of age. The guitar became his crutch, accompanying Westover to school and to football games and rallies. Kicked out of class for strumming on several occasions, his principal, Russel Conran, would send young Westover to the boy's locker room to play. "That is where I learned all about bathroom acoustics," Shannon would later reveal.

On This Day In Rock Music

The Pet Sounds “masterpiece” by The Beach Boys was released in 1966. It contained “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Sloop John B.,” “God Only Knows,” “Here Today,” “Caroline No” and other songs. A box set of the recording sessions of Pet Sounds was released by Capitol Records in the 1990s. How many times have we heard that Paul McCartney picked it as one of the best albums of all time? It is doubtful that without McCartney’s endorsement, the album would have received as much attention as it did.
 
 Yes shuffled members in 1980 when Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson were replaced by ex-Buggles, Geoff Downes and Trevor Horn. Horn has since become a well-sought after producer, working on such hit albums as the three Seal releases. The new version of Yes would record the Drama album, the only Yes release without singer Jon Anderson.
 
Sammy Davis Jr. died of throat cancer in 1990. He was 64. His voice on many of the earlier recordings is incredible. Davis was a member of The Rat Pack, and had several top 40 hits, including “Something’s Gotta Give,” “Love Me or Leave Me,” “That Old Black Magic,” “The Candy Man” and his signature tune, “I’ve Gotta Be Me.”
 
 Wayne Cochran was in Los Angeles in 2000 to receive a songwriter’s award. His song, “Last Kiss,” had over 4½ million performances the previous year, thanks to the release of a cover by Pearl Jam. They recorded the song to raise money for CARE, which provides food, shelter and other basic needs to the refugees of Kosovo. “Last Kiss” was included on the benefit CD, No Boundaries, as well as on a CD single. Frank J. Wilson and The Cavaliers had the original number 2 U.S. hit back in 1964, while Canadian band, Wednesday, brought it back into the top 40 in 1974.

About the Google DanceDuring the month, Google sends out robots (spiders) to crawl the web and archive every website it finds. These archived websites will be presented in the next update of the Google index (database). The update process is initiated every 30 days or so, although on some occasions there have been more than 30 days between updates.

Now if you've been a keen Google fan you'll know that they have 3 main www servers online, which are as follows:

www.google.com - The main address, the true homepage of google.



www2.google.com - Thought to be a test server.
www3.google.com - Thought to be a test server.  

 

Whilst nobody outside of "Google" truly seems to know the purpose of the www2 & www3 servers, many people have come to the assumption that they are test servers. During the update, which takes several days, the 3 Google servers display different results. Whilst the results vary from server to server, they are said to be "dancing", hence the name "Google Dance".

The www2 & www3 servers are the ones most closely observed during the dance, however I have recently found the addresses to all 10 of the Google Datacenters!! I believe that watching this will provide for a slight enhancement in the detection of the "Google Dance".. My tool is the only tool (that I know of) to provide the 10 datacenters option.
