Abandoned, recently discovered Sharecroppers Village Elvis & parents lived at in 1940

Recently discovered, with the help of a couple of elderly Tupelo residents/historians, an abandoned Sharecroppers Village Elvis' parents lived at in 1940 with a young Elvis. Stephen Shutts was the first to film and reveal this location publicly.

I am so glad Elvis made it good and got money to help his family. My moms family were sharecroppers and it was a hard life

[@shannonm.4087]

This really makes me understand why Elvis always kept one home- Graceland- it was his secure place, after moving around as a child.

Great video, Steve. Elvis would've probably been blown away knowing that far into the future there would be people trying to chronicle his spur of the moment trips back to the places he grew up. That story of the guy seeing Elvis in a Lincoln with a girl in the 70s probably came about when Elvis was telling her about the places he had grown up and about his humble origins. I can just imagine him saying to her, "C'mon, honey. Lemme show you." before coming down from his bedroom at Graceland to a car and a nice little "sentimental journey". He seemed like the kind of guy who would do that. Always trying to connect with his roots and wanting to show someone how far he had come...partially because he could hardly believe it himself. Maybe he was trying, at some level, to reconnect with that long ago time and place...and with the person he had once been.

I saw this little house before. I had heard that it was being auctioned off a year or so ago. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it very much. I get misty too when thinking of days long gone. Always & Forever, Forever & Always, Loved & Remembered, "The Man" & "The Legend Elvis Presley" !!!

Keep them coming @Rockology! 🥂🍾😎🔥💥🤟💚🙌

[@bonniebrown6960]

That's an amazing find !! I never heard this story before . Seeing places like this makes you realize why Elvis was so humble and giving . There's not many famous people that cared like he did . Thanks so much for sharing this great video !! Love it !!

[@jacquelineloveselvis]

Thank you so much for this video. Gosh, so informative. I'd love to see that old film of Elvis as a kid.

[@cathybeauchump7636]

Awesome. Your right I had no idea of any of those years of Elvis life or homes. Thank you. 😎❤️

[@sheilawarren4530]

Hi just been watching you on Billy spar guy video about the pippin ride and he had your link on so I thought I would have a look. So glad I did. This video was so interesting. All that history you found. You even found the old sharecroppers village and house. I will be looking forward to catching up on all the rest of your video's. Thank you.

[@kirby8538]

Your videos of Elvis history are awesome.

[@viap1061]

Thank you for this video of Elvis and parents.Rest InPeace Elvis , his mom and dad, grandson and aunts…🙏

[@gordonrobbins5843]

Thank you for the video. Wonderful Reserch GODBLESS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jayviviano109]

Wonderful! Still so much that has not been researched & documented from Elvis' early years. Myself and a friend a couple years ago spend some time in the Park Hill area (just north of the old Shake Rag area) talking with older black folks from their area that documented the Presley's time in their community. Sam Bell himself over the years has spoke in detail about some of this. And the folks that we met and spoke with backed up everything (and more) that Sam has disclosed. I've already shared some of what we learned with other people that have researched Elvis history for over 30 years and their minds were blown. There is still so much to be known that has unfortunately been overlooked, ignored, and even worse, lost to history. It's nice to know there are other people, like yourself, out there that Care enough to dig *Beyond* what has already been shared by other documentarians, to dig a Little Deeper finding more specifics and info that will fill in more pieces of the puzzle for future Generations.

[@jacquelineloveselvis]

It brought tears to my eyes seeing that old sharecropper home. So sad.

[@memphismaverick100]

Outstanding work, this has already become my favourite Elvis channel. Binge watched everything today. Keep up the great work !

Hey Rockology really enjoyed your video of Elvis and his family’s old homes uncle Noah the history and his school friend guy and the only surviving sharecroppers home in the woods amazing.eerie but as you say poetic and sad at the same time.too true.cant believe it would have been 79 years ago since Elvis would have ran around those woods at age 5.great research.history. Following the history friend .from England.

Great informative videos Stephen! Love your interviewing style on some of them, You actually let the subjects talk instead of talking over them. Thanks for the uploads.

[@kathysharpe7339]

Amen to that . Mr. Memphis

[@vickiatkins9061]

You are doing such a great job on all the research you are doing putting a lot of time into this. Thanks. It is greatly appreciated. Always nice to learn something of elvis and his family. Elvis. Had a dream. And he made it happen. He loved his moma. And saw the hard work she and his dad had did. And he wanted them to have an easy life so he made it happen. He was blessed by God and he praised God every concert by singing a gospel song. He was giving thanks and praising his lord. He did TCB. Gods blessing was on hin

This is amazing! I'm a big Elvis fan and I'm so amazed with all of this information you were able to find out! It's too bad that the houses on Green Street and the sharecropper houses are gone, but I'm so glad so many of the others still remain. Thank you so much for all the work you put into this and for sharing it with us. I'm so glad I found your channel and I look forward to your videos!

Thank You for Explaining Why there were 2 doors in front of the house, Ive Never understood Why there were 2 doors!

[@lincolnalbrecht6874]

Wow! Fantastic

[@patsyfan1]

Fascinating story.

[@Nadeshiroo]

I often wondered what kinda of homes that Elvis mamma and daddy came from. I’ve not ran up on any documentary’s about that. They came from hard beginnings and wish his mom could have enjoyed life at Graceland longer. Elvis was a kind a giving person and I beleive that’s why he was like he was. He never forgot where he came from.

[@raycarter8070]

I agree! This video was key to helping us find a lot of locations! Highly recommended and shared to family!

[@sammy5714]

Wow, tks for sharing. Yes i read something somewhere when they left the shotgun house to live with family members?

Wow....this is amazing....Thank you. How do I get in touch with you....I am interested in the souveniers that would be available.

[@cbeth9209]

There goes that train...🤗 Back in the 60s in Texas we had two doors also ( framed homes

[@robertozanetti104]

Hi Rockology! Great video as always! Just a question: what do you really thing about the Elvis School footage you told here? I mean, have you ever seen something? I read around that Dennie W. Forbus claimed to have it and in 2014 he was going to shows two stills in his "American Trilogy" book but I'm not able to find anything of that around, including that phantomatic book...

[@manlystranger4973]

Fantastic video!!! You are doing important work documenting these historical events and the places they happened. I look forward to more videos.

[@robsniffen7597]

Just came back from Tupelo. Amazing. The Birthplace site is incredible. Would love a souvenir from the bleachers. How can we get in touch?

[@pathough2100]

Interesting!

[@michaelk487]

Cool 😎
