Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate, just 42 years of age.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.
I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get my lovin' in the evening time
When I'm with my baby
Well, it ain't no fun with the sun around
I get going when the sun goes down
And I'm with my baby
And we're gonna kiss some more
Who cares how many times we kiss
'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score?
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby
Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And we're gonna kiss some more
Who cares how many times we kiss
'Cause at a time like this, who keeps score
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby
And it don't matter if it's sleet or snow
The drive-in's cozy when the lights are low
And I'm with my baby
Makes no difference if the rain comes down
I don't notice when she's around
Oh boy, what a baby
Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
And we're gonna kiss some more
Well, one kiss from my baby doll makes me hot
More more more more
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I meet my baby
Well, that's when we're gonna kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss and
We're gonna kiss some more
Well, one kiss from my baby doll makes me hot
More more more more
Well, I don't care if the sun don't shine
I get my loving in the evening time
When I'm with my baby

One of his earlier songs, this Sun Don't Shine song came out before Elvis came up with the songs making him rich and famous, songs like Don't Be Cruel. But we girls who had heard Elvis sing I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine...Well, we knew even our parents would fall in love with Elvis Presley.
We were right.
From the mid-1950's, Elvis proved to be the most beloved singer whoever drew breath to entertain us.
Thank God for giving us an Elvis Presley, and let's thank YouTube and all who post Elvis songs. .

Love the Rockabilly Elvis. Pure and simple. Music you can play anywhere with an upright bass, a guitar and a great voice.
@billyholland8155
You’re right but can you play all the lead guitar licks like Scotty did?
@lord-dark-coffee
Working on it, but don't ask about my voice. ;-)
