On October 3, 1945, a small, shy 10-year-old boy took the stage at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show in Tupelo, Mississippi, to perform in a youth talent competition. His name? Elvis Presley. That day, although no one in the audience could have imagined it, they were witnessing the humble beginnings of the future King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. The event would shape his musical journey in ways that connected his modest childhood with his eventual global fame.
