ELVIS PRESLEY STORIES

'...RCA wasted no time in capitalizing on the session’s success. Within little

more than forty-eight hours they had pressed 1.4 million advance orders for the

new single (“Stuck On You” and “Fame and Fortune”) and shipped them out in

preprinted sleeves that announced only “Elvis’ 1st New Recording For His

50,000,000 Fans All Over the World” in the absence of definitive titles at the

time they had gone to press.'

'On July 28, 1954, ten weeks after the initial Supreme Court Brown

decision integrating public schools, Elvis sang “That’s All Right” in the

Overton Shell in Memphis. It was a black man’s song, and white women

went wild at the sight of Elvis’s body—this beautiful young white male

body—in motion as he sang.'

'..."You need to be kissed" - Dixie was too young to go into some of the little bars and clubs Elvis was playing around town, but he continued to spend all his free time with her, taking

her wherever he could—to a radio appearance over in West Memphis, Arkansas,

and to his performance at the Katz’s Drug Store opening, where he sang for a

huge crowd of teenagers from the back of a flatbed truck.'
