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.

Elvis Presley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got it, baby.
You are the only one I chose.
Don't leave me here with all these heartaches,
Only you and heaven knows
About my troubles troubles troubles.
When it rains, it really pours...
You know you thrill me from head to toe.
I got a feeling for you baby
And you're the only one who knows
About my troubles, troubles, troubles.
When it rains, it really pours...
You know what you did to make me love you
You really opened up my nose.
You got what you wanted, now you left me.
That's the way the story goes.
Well, I got troubles, troubles, troubles.
When it rains, it really pours
In "When It Rains It Really Pours," Elvis Presley sings about his heartaches and troubles, and blames them all on his lover. He starts by stating that his lover has what it takes, and that she is the only one he chose, which indicates that he is deeply in love with her. The line "don't leave me here with all these heartaches" implies that she has betrayed him in some way, possibly by ending the relationship or by being unfaithful. He goes on to say that only she and heaven knows about his troubles, suggesting that he is suffering in silence and is not sharing his pain with others.
Elvis continues to express his frustration and heartache by saying that when it rains, it really pours. This phrase is a common expression that means that when bad things start happening, they continue to happen one after another, and the situation gets worse and worse. So, in this case, Elvis is saying that when he experiences trouble, it just keeps coming and getting worse. He again blames his lover for taking away his loving and causing him to experience these problems. He then tells her that she thrills him from head to toe and that he has a feeling for her that only she knows. However, he still feels troubled and pained, and he blames her for it all.
Overall, "When It Rains It Really Pours" is a sad and emotional song that conveys Elvis Presley's pain and frustration. The lyrics suggest that he is deeply in love but feels betrayed by his lover, and he is struggling to cope with the heartache and troubles that follow. The song's catchy beat and memorable lyrics make it a classic that resonates with many people.
