Description
In his debut Ed Sullivan Show appearance on September 9, 1956, Elvis Presley sent shock waves through a reserved nation with his soulful singing, wild hip gyrations and raw energy, attracting a record-breaking TV audience of more than 60 million viewers. Share the excitement of Elvis's earth-shattering introduction to the general public in this unforgettable episode complete with the original lineup of entertainers and commercials-the acrobats, tap dancers, songsters, novelty performers, plus Toby the Dog just as the show first aired. Experience the birth of a legend as Elvis earns his title "The King of Rock 'n' Roll" with captivating performances of "Don't Be Cruel" (followed by a genial "Thank you, ladies," for their appreciative- if earsplitting-feedback) and a soulful "Love Me Tender." The shrieks and screams of the audience intensify when he rocks out on "Ready Teddy," catching his breath to give a shoutout to the absent "Mr. Sullivan" (recuperating from a car accident) before launching into a rocking and rolling "Hound Dog. Captured live in the prime of his career, the 21-year-old Elvis--with his sultry vigor and hair greased high-brings a vitality to the show that Ed Sullivan viewers hadn't known they were missing. His exhilarating performances were so explosive, in fact, that for his final Sullivan show appearance several weeks later, "Elvis the Pelvis" would be filmed only above the waist! This historic volume also includes these special bonus features: • Exclusive Featurette: Remembering Ed and Elvis with appearances by Sam Phillips, Wink Martindale and George Klein • Featurette: Why Ed Didn't Host Elvis's First Appearance
