First Performance – Mississippi-Alabama Fair

Elvis Presley was 10 years old when his fifth-grade teacher asked for volunteers to say a prayer for the class. When it was Elvis’ turn, he prayed and then sang the country song “Old Shep.” His teacher, Mrs. Oleta Grimes, later recalled, “He sang it so sweetly.” She took Elvis to the principal so he could hear the young boy sing. The principal shared Mrs. Grimes’ enthusiasm and immediately signed Elvis up for the upcoming children’s talent contest at the annual Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show.

On October 3, 1945, Elvis stood on a chair to reach the microphone and once again sang “Old Shep.” The talent show was broadcast over the local radio station in his first public performance.
