Elvis Presley Handwritten Note Autograph 1955

Immerse yourself in the early days of Elvis Presley’s legendary career with this rare handwritten note, personally signed “EP” by the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Dated to 1955, this unique artefact features the inscription “Mrs Odom, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year E.P.,” penned by Elvis following a visit to Mrs Odom’s Soda Garden in Prichard, Alabama. This note, a heartfelt gesture after Mrs Odom invited him for a free meal, offers a glimpse into Elvis’ humble beginnings before his meteoric rise to fame.

Measuring approximately 3” x 5”, this item is in excellent condition, preserving its historical significance. Available exclusively at Presley Collectibles, it comes with a market-leading unconditional 90-day money-back guarantee, a lifetime Certificate of Authenticity (COA), and worldwide shipping, ensuring accessibility for collectors globally.

The note’s provenance is enriched by a photocopied, undated, unsigned letter from Mrs Odom’s granddaughter, providing a detailed account of its origin. In October 1955, Elvis, then 20 years old, performed at the inaugural Greater Gulf State Fair in Mobile, Alabama—not Prichard—on 26 October, alongside Scotty Moore and Bill Black, delivering two shows at 3:30 and 7:30 PM. Mrs Odom and her daughter attended, and after the performance, Mrs Odom met Elvis, praising his singing and inviting him to her restaurant, Odom’s Soda Garden, in Prichard.

She also requested a signed picture, prophetically remarking, “I think you are going to be famous one day.” The following year, on 21 October 1956, Elvis visited Vigor High School in Prichard—not Mobile—performing at 10 a.m. during a stop en route to the fair.

His performance, attended by over 330 students including ninth-grader Margaret (Williams) Burcham, was cut short when a social studies teacher, Mr. Ed White, a bi-vocational minister, objected to Elvis’ hip-shaking and an off-color joke: “What happened to the farmer who was milking the cow that jumped over the moon? He was left holding the bag.” The audience roared, but Mr. White’s complaint led to the principal halting the show. Elvis Presley Handwritten Merry Christmas Note 1955

Elvis then visited Odom’s Soda Garden, where, in Mrs Odom’s absence, staff honored her offer with a free meal. Grateful, he left this signed note as a token of appreciation.

Elvis Presley, born on 8 January 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi, was on the cusp of stardom in 1955. His 1956 performance at Vigor High School, though brief, fueled his growing notoriety, leading to his RCA Victor contract and hits like “Heartbreak Hotel” (1956). This note, from his pre-fame days, reflects his early charm and connection with fans.
