Love Me Tender was a huge hit for Elvis back in 1956. It was #1 on numerous charts around the country and world. This video is from the Ed Sullivan show on September 9, 1956. Elvis performed the song on the show before the song was released as a single. The day after the show, RCA records received over 1 million advance orders for the single, making it a gold record before it was ever released. Enjoy!
Here's Elvis performing his 1956 #1 hit single Hound Dog live on TV. These early performances by Elvis on TV were seen by more than 40 million people. Of course, he was blasted in the press for his hip movements and pelvic thrusts. Enjoy!
