Presley's earliest musical influence came from gospel. His mother recalled
that from the age of two, at the Assembly of God church in Tupelo attended by
the family, "he would slide down off my lap, run into the aisle and
scramble up to the platform. There he would stand looking at the choir and
trying to sing with them. In Memphis, Presley frequently attended all-night
gospel singings at the Ellis Auditorium, where groups such as the Statesmen
Quartet led the music in a style that, Guralnick suggests, sowed the seeds of
Presley's future stage act:
The Statesmen were an electric combination ... featuring some of the
most thrillingly emotive singing and daringly unconventional showmanship in the
entertainment world ... dressed in suits that might have come out of the window
of Lansky's. ... Bass singer Jim Wetherington, known universally as the Big
Chief, maintained a steady bottom, ceaselessly jiggling first his left leg,
then his right, with the material of the pants leg ballooning out and
shimmering. "He went about as far as you could go in gospel music,"
said Jake Hess. "The women would jump up, just like they do for the pop
shows." Preachers frequently objected to the lewd movements ... but
audiences reacted with screams and swoons.
As a teenager, Presley's musical interests were wide-ranging, and he was
deeply informed about African American musical idioms as well as white ones
(see "Teenage life in Memphis"). Though he never had any formal
training, he was blessed with a remarkable memory, and his musical knowledge
was already considerable by the time he made his first professional recordings
in 1954 at the age of 19. When Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller met him two years
later, they were astonished at his encyclopedic understanding of the blues. At
a press conference the following year, he proudly declared, "I know
practically every religious song that's ever been written.
