Elvis Presley - Summer of 1956. 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.

Not sure if there's another icon who's fans really care what they did on a day by day basis more than 40 years after they died! We Elvis fans are a unique bunch!!
I think we must be 😉! But his story is always fascinating. Thank you for watching 👍👍

Hey Tina! I"m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment-it is appreciated 👍👍🙂
I love everything Elvis! Great to see the buildings.
Hi Marsha! Yes, it's fascinating to line up where Elvis was in relation to existing buildings. Thanks for watching
There will definitiely never be another EP ! He had it all ! Unique in so many ways ! Some great photos there ! 👌🏾👍🏿
He certainly did have it all. Talent and charisma combination unlikely to be seen again! 👍👍
Thanks for the really great video😎👌
Thanks, I appreciate it! 🙂👍
When the media branded Elvis' performance as "Obscene", they didn't know it at the time but that made his ratings skyrocket, all the younger set went crazy over it. lol. On another note, I went to the Burton Theater in Burton, Michigan back in 1956 or 57 when it was released and I'll never forget it. I never seen and heard so many people crying and sobbing towards the end of the show, when Elvis was shot and killed. What a movie.
Thanks for sharing that memory Bobby. I would have loved to have been around as the songs and films were being released. And yes, music artists down the years that have outraged parents or the general public (whether intentionally or unintentionally) always appeal to the kids 😊. Thanks for watching 👍👍
For us , who aren't from America, these informations are precious. Thank you, sir!
Thanks Theodora! 😁👍

I have to tell you, I enjoy your videos and information much, much more than "The Spa Guy", I tried 'talking' with him and telling him of a certain event and he called me a liar, I just politely exited his thread and never went back. He thinks he's all that and a bag of chips. I won't say more but yours is best. Thanks for sharing.
Such a great video about the king 👌
So many pictures i'll never seen.
Sooo interesting.
Thank you so much.👍🥰
Elvis will always be the king 👑👑👑
Thank you Anja! So glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, the diverse talent of Elvis, his pure charisma and impact on music and culture are unlikely to be seen again
I WAS BORN IN MILLINGTON, MEMPHIS ON THE NAVAL BASE... RIGHT DOWN FROM ELVIS IN SHELBY COUNTY.. ❤❤❤❤ ~ MANY YEARS AGO
Hi Darlene - thanks for watching 👍
My FAVORITE of this time is June Juanico's book. Wow. That book made me LOVE ELVIS more then I knew was possible but it made me sad for them both the entire next day.
Hi Kelli. Yes I enjoyed that book as well. June really conveys the sense of an almost perfect time away from the spotlight. But yes, the spotlight it seems was always going to come between them. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Great time line continuity. Brilliant, thank you. X💋
Thank you for your comments Lynn! Much appreciated 😊👍
Beautiful, beautiful walk with you down memory lane, thank you. .✨
Thank you J Lee for your comments. I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍👍🙂
The video is fantastic, i am a big fan, and is a dream to walk in is shoes, where he has been. Many, many thank s. Kindly.
Hi Roberto! Thank you very much for watching. I'm happy you enjoyed it 🙂
Elvis always said 1956 was his most favorite year. He and June stayed in touch for the rest of his life. She gave him a copy of the Prophet and it stayed by his beside until he died. June always wanted a ranch and wanted to call it "Circle J". In 1967, Elvis bought one and name it "Circle G". She told him in 1956 that Unchained Melody was her favorite song. It was the last song he sang. He released an album for her called "Just for you" in 1957.
Hi Elizabeth-thanks for watching, it is appreciated 👍. Yes, they had a relatively close relationship during 55 and 56. Just want to point out 'Unchained Melody' wasn't the last song he sang and RCA would have chosen the EP title 'Just For You'.
Got a lot of photos in Elvis books that I've got but still some that I haven't. Great video well put together well done. Just subscribed to you.
Thanks very much for that! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and took time to comment - much appreciated!

Thanks again for watching. I really appreciate it! 👍🤗
Can someone PLS upload the entire Russwood Park show? Thanks
I think we'd all like to see that Danny! Not much out there apart from a few grainy silent clips unfortunately, as far as I'm aware. Thanks for watching 👍👍
According 5:54 Elvis was the first rock star to perform in a sports stadium. Therefore, it is not true that the first rock concert in a stadium was by the Beatles in Shea Stadium in 1965. Elvis sang in a stadium 9 years before the Beatles!!!
Thanks for watching Rafael👍👍! I think concerts at sports grounds were quite common even in the 50s - in my 1955 vid I go to Ladd Stadium in Mobile where Elvis played. I think the Beatles claim is it was the biggest up to that time. 👍
Back in the day you would never see elvis on tv cause the colonel wanted 2 much money , and with less exposure ,which is wise
Hi Gary. I think that Parker was at his marketing best around this time. All those TV appearances in 56, so the nation could see him on their TV at home and wanting more, then cutting TV after the 3rd Sullivan show - so fans then either had to spend on concerts or spend at the cinema to see him. Course this completely back fired in the 60s when Parker went too far and the concerts stopped as well. Thanks for watching 👍
