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.
Mary In The Morning
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When through a sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summer flowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her golden head, oh-oh
When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms
The ache is there so deep inside me
Oh, nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch me I kiss her face so softly
And then my Mary wakes to love another day, ooh-ooh
And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share
We share together
Oh, nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shades of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share, oh-oh

Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Mary looks incredibly beautiful in the morning
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
When I see her in the morning, she looks like she's still half asleep
Soft as the rain that falls on summerflowers
She's very gentle and delicate, like the rain falling on flowers in the summer
Warm as the sunlight shining on her head
She's warm and comforting, like the sun shining on her head
When I awake and see her there so close beside me
When I wake up and see her next to me, I feel so happy and content
I want to take her in my arms,
I want to hold her close to me
The ache is there so deep inside me
I feel a deep longing to be close to her
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
Mary has big dreams that seem out of reach
And when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softly
When she touches me, I kiss her fingers gently
And then my Mary wake to love and love again
We wake up and express our love for each other every day
And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She's always by my side, no matter what happens
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,
Mary loves me no matter what, and she doesn't care about our differences
We share together
We share our love and our lives together
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Mary looks just as beautiful in the evening as she does in the morning
Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair
She looks even more beautiful in the evening, with the shade of night and stars in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
When we're together, I always hold her close to me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share
We'll be together for the rest of our lives
