About this book

The screams of teenage girls are at fever pitch. On stage, the young man from Mississippi can barely get a word in amid the frenzy. When he breaks into Hound Dog and exhibits those signature moves, the camera stays resolutely waist up. It’s 1956, and the gyrating hips of Elvis Presley are too raunchy for TV.

IF Elvis’ status as the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll hadn’t been cemented before those ‘56 appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show, it certainly was afterwards. This book takes readers on a tour through music history in this collection of newspaper articles from the LA Times.

Starting out with those first tapes at Sun Records, you’ll see how reporters documented Elvis’ growing fame, heartthrob status, years in the army, feature films, Las Vegas residency and more. 

Archivist insight: We reproduce these newspaper articles from scan archives. In some cases, there’ll be blemishes and the reproduction quality might not be as clear or precise as it was in the original paper.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself.
