Gladys Love Presley, nee Smith, was born on April 25, 1912.She married Vernon, Elvis’ dad, in 1933, and only a couple of years later she had twins Elvis and Jesse on January 8, 1935.Jesse Garon Presley, however, was born stillborn, meaning Elvis grew up as an only child.In tribute to Jesse, Elvis’ middle name was Aron, however, years later he changed his name to Aaron.While Elvis was known as being close to both his parents, it has often been reported he was far closer to his mother, who was, by many accounts, the most dominant member of the family.The family attended an Assembly of God church, which helped Elvis develop his musical inspiration but the Presleys were by no means well off.It has been described in a number of biographies that the Presleys required help from neighbours and government for assistance with food, and in 1938, they lost their home during which time Elvis’ father Vernon Presley was jailed for altering a cheque.During this period, Gladys and Elvis moved in with relatives, while the young Elvis was very shy about his performance abilities and as he got older, the family continued to move around.In 1948, they moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and after spending almost a year in boarding houses were granted a two-bedroom apartment in a public housing complex, known in the UK as council housing.Elvis’ shyness continued but mainly because of his relationship with his mother hampering his ability to be confident.He was often bullied by classmates, as biographer Peter Guralnick describes, due to being called a “mama’s boy”.Elvis spoke about this in interviews vaguely, once saying: “My mama never let me out of her sight.

Elvis Presley is known for his incredible voice, energetic stage performances and a huge catalogue of music.
