From his first national introduction on the Dorsey Brothers' Stage Show in January 1956, through his appearances on other TV shows hosted by famous celebrities like Milton Berle, Steve Allen, and Ed Sullivan (including the notorious 'from the waist up' show in January 1957), this book delves deep behind the scenes of each show, documenting his arrival, rehearsals, and the shows themselves, all the way to Elvis' post-army performance on The Frank Sinatra-Timex Show in May 1960, his last television appearance for eight years. Supported by a comprehensive text, here are dozens of historical documents, memorabilia, and hundreds of rare photos collected—many of which have never been published before. This book will captivate the reader and is the most detailed document on the history of Elvis on television from 1956-60. Like holding a virtual 1950s TV in your hands, with this substantial volume, you can transport yourself back to an era of innocence the world had not seen before or since!
