  • Where Elvis Became Elvis Final
    ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Where Elvis Became Elvis: The Story of 1034 Audubon Drive ! ! ! ! ! ! Alice Fugate Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies Rhodes College 2016 ! !1 Introduction: Fame and Familiarity Remember that time you were shopping in the same store that hip hop artist Usher was browsing in? When you met fashion designer Lilly Pulitzer at a wedding reception? Or the time you asked Roger Moore (a.k.a. James Bond) for directions when you got lost in London and he told you “You’re in for a hell of a walk.” These are some of my parents’ encounters with fame. These chance encounters became stories they would tell for years afterward around the dinner table, at parties, or while on a walk. Many of us have had similar experiences, and it’s all the same: you were living in the familiar, and suddenly fame walked through the door. Now imagine living next door to Elvis Presley in 1956. 1034 Audubon Drive was Elvis Presley’s first purchased house in Memphis, Tennessee, bought in 1956 for his parents with the royalties of “Heartbreak Hotel.” The King only lived there for thirteen months, but from May, 1956 to May, 1957 he became Elvis, at least the early Elvis as the world knows him. While living here, he recorded “Hound Dog,” appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, bought his mother a pink Cadillac, and played touch football with the neighborhood kids. Audubon Drive in the 1950’s was a new neighborhood right at the edge of Memphis — the suburbs. It was an upper-middle class, almost all-white neighborhood, full of successful professionals and tons of children.
