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.
