The Early Years of a Legend

About the end of June 1934, Gladys knew she was pregnant. Some time around her fifth month she was sure she was having twins – she was unusually large, could feel two babies kicking and had a family history of twins on both sides of the family. Gladys was earning $2 a day at the Tupelo Garment Company, while Vernon worked at various odd jobs, including one on the dairy farm of Orville S. Bean.

With $180 that he borrowed from Bean after Gladys became pregnant in the spring of 1934, Vernon set about constructing a family home, and he and Gladys moved in that December.

Elvis’ birthplace was built by his father, Vernon, with help from Vernon’s brother Vester and father, Jessie, whose relatively ‘spacious’ four-room house sat next door. Located above a highway that transported locals between Tupelo and Birmingham, Alabama, and nestled among a group of small, rough-hewn homes along Old Saltillo Road. The house had no electricity (It was connected but it was not used due to the cost) or indoor plumbing, and was similar to housing constructed for mill villages around that time.

Elvis Poem Of The Day

The record player sits on my desk
I set the needle on the charcoal vinyl
Elvis Presley- Burning Love
Escapes the speakers
Ready to dance
The static retro crackle
Makes me want to live in the 1950’s
Music loops around in my head
Sunshine illuminating onto my floor through the window
I dance as light as the clouds in the pool of sunshine
I smile
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
And you light my morning sky
Burning Love
Spreading my arms out wide
My laugh bursts out of my corrupt lungs
Slipping past my crimson red lips
I breath the music
Notes carrying my body across the floor
Skirt billowing out around me
As I twist my summer hips back and forth
Music is melting into my mind
I spin faster
I am so free
So care free
So nostalgic
Burning Love
Burning Love
Burning Love
Burning Love
