Elvis was born in East Tupelo, Mississippi. (The town was annexed by its larger neighbor, Tupelo, in 1946.)

WASHINGTON — It was 90 years ago that Elvis Aaron Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. As part of this year's celebration, Graceland in Memphis is hosting several days of events honoring the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

Hard to believe, but Elvis Presley – the King of Rock’n’Roll – would have been 90 years old next week. Perhaps his famous hip movements would have been less swivelly by now, but it’s almost certain that his smile would have been just as dangerous.
