Family Moves to Memphis
Elvis’ early childhood was a happy one, with his close-knit family all living near each other in Tupelo, Mississippi, and enjoying services at the local church. But by 1948, economic troubles struck the Presley family, and like many others, they hoped that a move would help the situation.
On Elvis’ last day of school at Milam Junior High in Tupelo, his class asked the teacher if he could perform for them before leaving. So, the teacher gave him 30 minutes and he sang several songs, the last of which was “Leaf on a Tree.”
Later that day, the Presley family packed their belongings into a trunk and strapped it to the roof of their 1939 Plymouth and made the 80-mile move to Memphis, Tennessee. Much of their extended family soon followed.
Over the next year, Elvis and his parents lived in several downtown boarding houses. Then in September 1949 they were accepted into Lauderdale Courts, a public housing project on the north end of downtown Memphis.
During their time in Memphis, Elvis’ parents moved from job to job, and Elvis worked as well, to help support his family. Though times were tough, the family remained close, still attending church, and Elvis embraced the city’s thriving music scene. During his teenage years, he played in a band with boys from the housing project, absorbed the local music at night clubs and record stores, and adopted a cutting-edge style. While most teens wore jeans, Elvis wore dress pants every day, grew his hair long, wore flashy clothes, and fashioned a scarf into an ascot, giving him the look of a movie star. And it wouldn’t be long before he actually became one.
