THE SCREAMS of teenage girls are deafening. On stage, the young man from Tupelo, Mississippi, can barely be heard over the frenzy. He grips the mic, flashes that grin, and launches into Hound Dog. The crowd erupts. Cameras hover nervously — by next year, they’ll only dare film him from the waist up. It’s September 9th, 1956: Elvis Presley has taken the Ed Sullivan Show by storm, and the world of music will never be the same again.
