Elvis' Birthday
Elvis was born on January 8, 1935, in the very poor town of Tupelo Mississippi. A few years later the family moved to Memphis Tennessee. The mother and father would stay in Memphis for the duration of their lives.
During his most early years the family struggled to survive. Elvis's parents Vernon Elvis Presley and Gladys Love Smith Presley were saddened by the death of Elvis's twin brother. It is not sure if the brother died at birth or shortly after. The death was to affect Elvis till the day he met his maker. Each birthday Elvis would add an extra candle to his cake in order to honor his brother.
