WHEN DID ELVIS buy graceland?
450895
Named after the first owner's aunt Grace, Graceland was built in the 1930s to resemble an antebellum, plantation-style manor home. Elvis paid $100,000-plus for the mansion in 1957.

I'm thinking 1984 or so, when Purple Rain came out.

elvis.........many uncredited sales, literally hundreds of recycled albums put him top closely followed by the beatles in terms of sheer volumes sold. \n\nIn the fifties, still post war, rationing era; singles and EPs sold as the teenagers could not afford long players. As a result, many rashly put together albums were released, with several a year by Elvis for example. This explains why artists like Sinatra and soundtracks like Oklahoma or West Side Story or The King and I spent months/years at the top of the charts. It changed in 63/64 with artists like the Beatles and Dylan as albums became more accesible to teenagers with more disposable income\n\nCreatively, its relative.\n\nNow its completely different where an album is the mainstay of an  aritist. A complete shift in buying as sales figures clearly show. \n\nIn terms of a body of work, Pink Floyd, Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Marley and Marvin Gaye would be up there in my opinion.

I am in an Elvis Tribute Band. I was never an Elvis fan growing up. I was born in '78, so by the time I was old enough to have my own tape player, Elvis was long gone.  But, I recently had a chance to join an Elvis band, and I decided to take it.\n  I had to learn all these Elvis songs. I tell you what, I have lots of respect for him now.  He was an entertainer. Everything was all about the show.  He was great.\n  If you get a minute, check out the blog I've started about my journey so far.\n  Elvisroadshow.blogspot.com

It was Al Dvorin - a former band leader and talent agent in Chicago when he met Elvis Presley in 1955. \nHe worked with him for 22 years, helping to organise his tours. \n\nThe legend was born one evening in the early 70s: the singer's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, asked Mr Dvorin to tell fans at a concert that Elvis would not do an encore. \nHe took the stage to deliver the immortal line: "Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building. Thank you and goodnight."

•Peter Eckhorn offered Ringo £30 a week to go back to Germany and play with Tony Sheridan and an apartment. Ringo eventually joins Rory Storm. John called him at Butlin's to offer £25 a week as a Beatle.\n\n•Ringo had 400,000 shares of Northern Songs, Ltd. in 1969 worth £80,000.\n\n•When ATV bought a majority stake in Northern Songs in 1969, Ringo got shot of his holding for £80,000 but otherwise he didn't have much more money than sense because "if I think I'm being conned I do without". He also said at this time that he had "more money than I'd ever dreamed of" (Clayson and Sunday Post '69).\n\n•Ringo sold Brookfields (property) for £100,000 to Stephen Stills\n\nthats the best i can find. sorry

Elvis Aaron Presley, in the humblest of circumstances, was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953. \n\n Elvis’ musical influences were the pop and country music of the time, the gospel music he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager. In 1954, he began his singing career with the legendary Sun Records label in Memphis. In late 1955, his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor. By 1956, he was an international sensation. With a sound and style that uniquely combined his diverse musical influences and blurred and challenged the social and racial barriers of the time, he ushered in a whole new era of American music and popular culture.\n\nHe starred in 33 successful films, made history with his television appearances and specials, and knew great acclaim through his many, often record-breaking, live concert performances on tour and in Las Vegas. Globally, he has sold over one billion records, more than any other artist. His American sales have earned him gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards for 150 different albums and singles, far more than any other artist. Among his many awards and accolades were 14 Grammy nominations (3 wins) from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which he received at age 36, and his being named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970 by the United States Jaycees. Without any of the special privileges his celebrity status might have afforded him, he honorably served his country in the U.S. Army.\n\nHis talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to millions, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his life. Known the world over by his first name, he is regarded as one of the most important figures of twentieth century popular culture. Elvis died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977.
