Elvis in concert, Elvis on TV, Elvis at home, Elvis on vacation. This is the next part of my potted history of Elvis - an Elvis biography. This is put together from videos I recorded in 2017 and 2019 visits. This video concentrates on the Elvis in summer of 1956 which was a highly eventful time in Elvis history. In June Elvis caused controversy with his allegedly suggestive performance on the Milton Berle Show before attending Overton Park in Memphis to watch Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. Elvis was on WHBQ, the local Memphis TV station, to promote the Elvis July 4 Russwood Park benefit show and Elvis took June Juanico with him to Houston to pick up a new Cadillac. July would see Elvis in a tuxedo on the Steve Allen Show - with Elvis singing to a dog - appear on Hy Gardner Calling and Elvis recorded Hound Dog and Don't Be Cruel in RCA's New York recording studio. Following that Elvis returned to Memphis by train and relaxed at Elvis Audubon Drive home before the Russwood Park Elvis show on 4th July. After visiting a fan at St Joseph's hospital who was unable to attend the previous night's concert following a road traffic accident en route, Elvis was on vacation. Elvis and June Juanico went down to south Mississippi for a vacation with her family before heading for an Elvis tour of Florida. Also, for one date at the end Elvis was in New Orleans at Municipal Auditorium. Sources of information have been gathered since I was 12 years old!!
