Elvis Presley, at age 21, broke television records with his first appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on this day in history<\/a>, Sept. 9, 1956.<\/p>\n

Elvis \u2014 along with his famous “gyrations” \u2014 had been banned previously by Ed Sullivan from appearing on his show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, after several of his competitors saw massive ratings when Presley appeared on their shows<\/a>, Sullivan reconsidered his ban, said the History Channel’s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1966, ICONIC TV SERIES \u2018STAR TREK\u2019 PREMIERES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Sullivan signed Presley<\/a> to a three-appearance contract, paying the rock star $50,000. This was an “unprecedented” fee at the time, noted the History Channel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adjusted for inflation, that contract would be worth more than $500,000 in 2023, according to the website Inflationtool.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Presley’s appearance<\/a> on “The Ed Sullivan Show” was watched by 60 million viewers, making it the most-watched television broadcast of the decade, said the History Channel.<\/p>\n

The 60 million figure was equivalent to 82.6% of the total number of television viewers in the United States.<\/p>\n

Presley performed three of his songs, “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Hound Dog” and “Love Me Tender,” as well as Little Richard’s “Ready Teddy.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, NOV. 15, 1956, ELVIS MAKES BIG-SCREEN DEBUT IN \u2018LOVE ME TENDER\u2019<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

While “The Ed Sullivan Show” was based in New York City, Presley was in California shooting his first movie<\/a>, “Love Me Tender.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

So he performed remotely from Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Presley told the screaming audience that appearing on “The Ed Sullivan Show” was “probably the greatest honor I have ever had in my life.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then debuted “Love Me Tender,” saying it was “completely different from anything we’ve ever done before.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The single for “Love Me Tender” was the first in music history to sell over a million copies prior to its release, said Variety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, MARCH 19, 1957, ELVIS MAKES DOWN PAYMENT ON GRACELAND<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

At the time, Presley was infamous for his hip-shaking moves while performing, earning him the nickname “Elvis the Pelvis.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

These moves were considered too “vulgar” for the 1950s audiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite these fears, Elvis’ performance<\/a> was broadcast from head to toe, and not cut off at the waist, said the History Channel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When it was over, parents and critics, as usual, did a lot of futile grumbling at the vulgarity of this strange phenomenon that must somehow be reckoned with,” said a reviewer for Time magazine.<\/p>\n

The phenomenon was eventually reckoned with, in a way: On Elvis’ third and final<\/a> appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Jan. 6, 1957, he was shot only from the waist up, according to the website ElvisBiography.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This was due to “thousands of complaints” Sullivan received after Elvis’ first two appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
