Controversial "Facts" about Elvis

The spelling of his middle name on his birth certificate is smudged and it's never been clear if it is Aaron or Aron.

When Elvis was only 10, he entered The Mississippi-Alabama State Fair and Dairy Show. Not able to reach the microphone, he had to stand on a chair and sing "Old Shep" unaccompanied. He won 2nd place, $5.00, and was able to ride on the rides for free.

For Elvis's 11th birthday his parents bought him his first guitar for $7.75. He had wanted a bicycle but the guitar was all they could afford.
