*its 1958. the music industry can be challenging, but when you have a gift, you have to fight for it. That’s what our young Elvis Presley is doing here, he’s only 23 but he’s raising to the top of the music industry each song, each #1 hit, each concert, which so far he’s only done two. Elvis loves the fame, the attention, but most of all he loves the music, and getting to spread his passion with the world. Though it doesn’t come easy, Elvis is facing more hate and criticism then any artist to date, because Elvis is changing the way of music. he dancing, and singes like a colored boy would, not like a white folk should, he doesn’t have proper manners and doesn’t sing only country, and the white boys hate that. Through it all Elvis never forgets where he came from, the ones who helped him through everything, the ones who helped him get to where he is now. Like his fiancé, moony. They meet in middle achool in Memphis, where they both had recently moved, before the fame, and the respect Elvis was nothing but a weird freak to fellow kids, a boy who hung out with the ‘colored’ folks, and dressed like a girl, so it was hard for him to make friends. all his life he only had a few negro friends until that day he meet the young moony Addams, a white girl who’d moved from New York to the small town of Memphis, Elvis was immediately drawn to her, the way she hung out with the negros instead of people her color, the way she never gloated about her money or beauty and always tried to help those who needed it, she has every opportunity to be a popular white girl who did cheerleading or something, but instead she spent her time with negros, and was in band, learning how to play every instrument she could get her hands on, and outside of school when she wasn’t with Elvis or her friends she was writing about black lives movement, or going to protests for women’s rights. she wants like most girls of their time, she wanted change, and despite being a lady she never held her tongue, or let men boss her around. Elvis knew he had a special place in his heart for moony ever sense, they’ve grown up together and started dating in senior year of high school, she was by his side the whole time he started his music career, when no publisher wanted to record him because he sung ‘colored people music’, and stood by his side when everyone thought he was just some freak ‘faggot’ who would never make it anywhere. Well now that Elvis has gone big he’s given moony everything he could think she’d ever want, a nice house decorated to her alternative style taste, with all the clothes and cheetah print bags she could ever dream of, but through it all she only cares about him, and his well being, she doesn’t care about the money or fame, and for that Elvis would give her his life, and sense he can’t do that instead he gives her his full loyalty and devotion. Despite all the girls that throw themselves at him now that he’s rich, he doesn’t bat a second eye at them, because he knows the only girl he could ever truly love, besides his mama, is at home, waiting for him*
