 Introduction:
Hello, everyone.
Let’s tell them about Elvis Presley

 Development:

Elvis Presley was born in 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. He moved with his parents to Memphis
Tennessee when he was 13. His family didn’t have a lot of money and lived in public housing. As a
teenager he was shy, but took up the guitar. His teachers told him he had no talent for singing, and music
class was the only class he ever failed.

Presley was influenced by “black music” genres like gospel and blues and worked as a truck driver
after graduating high school. In 1953 he recorded his first single as a gift to his mother. He tried to join
bands around Memphis, who rejected him–advising him to stick to truck driving because he was never
going to be successful as a singer.

When he was 19 he was given the opportunity to do a studio recording. The producer was hoping
to find a white musician who could bring black music to a wider audience. In the Southern US, whites and
blacks were segregated and many whites refused to listen to black music. In fact Presley had to go to see
blues concerts on special nights reserved only for a white audience. He recorded the single “That’s All
Right, which was played on the radio and well-received by the public. He bought a new guitar for $145 and
began touring with a backup band, and quickly became a minor star in the South, famous for his energetic

performances in which he would convert his nervous trembling into a kind of dance that infuriated men
and drove women crazy with lust.

 Conclutión:

Elvis Presley fue un gran guitarrista y un gran ídolo.
