Bio

Hi: My name is James Wesley Moreland, nicknamed Jimelvis some Time back as I sing like Elvis Presley, I was born and raised in East Chattanooga, Tennessee, before later moving to Illinois. I am one of a family of like 10 or 11 As I was the youngest, of like 7 boys and 3 or 4 Girls, Only one full brother tho the rest were step brothers and step sisters. Some of which I never met, as My Mom left home when I was three years old and was raised by my Father until his death in 1963. I received a third degree burn on my back when i was like 5 years old, And by them bandaging me to tight resulted in my chest being deformed, I went to live with my Mom after my dad death and worked on another farm about 2 miles away helping to raise cattle,until I was drafted by the Army in 1966, of which I am greatful, As they classified me 4f but helped me to get my chest reconstructed and to receive schooling of which got me started towards a better education and Job. I play the guitar and sing and compose songs!..Thanks for visting and may God bless you: Jimelvis
