Awesome -- Elvis -- The King

Freddie Bell and the bellboys recorded the song in 1955. Freddie Bell and the Bellboys were the hot act in town, and Elvis went to the Sands to take in their show. Elvis not only enjoyed the show, but also loved their reworking of 'Hound Dog' and asked Freddie if he had any objections to him recording his own version. By May 16 Elvis had added Hound Dog to his live performances. Elvis added the slow dramatic ending as a kind of comic relief for fun.

This was outrageous because before Elvis everyone on TV just stood there and sang. The slowed down humping the mike section and the hand gesture to the crotch at 2: 00 is often cut out of the performance even today! Elvis's live performances would of course get much wilder, and the cops were called out a time or two such as after the infamous performance where he humped the fake RCA Victor dog they often had on stage. LOL I love this Elvis because he was wild and free!

[Disappearingboy1039]

i don't see anything wrong with the performance.I don't really see anything sexual about it. Except for the hip thrusting but that's not a big deal. But Elvis is the man

MUY VUEN VIDEO

I don't think there was a horn section here originally, but at least it's understated, and Elvis and the band sound great in this very upfront mix.

[ajm9469]

In my opinion this is the greatest performance ever, so raw and different. The audience didn't know how to respond, they had never seen anything like this before. This sounds like the original recording as well, with the orchestra backing.

[whitefalcon64]

Nobody could reach this, maybe Jerry Lee Lewis with "Whole lotta shaking"

[imkingmailru]

Always reminds me of Forrest Gump =)

[mamasboyl]

I don't see why it shouldn't because didn't Forrest teach him how to move like that at 1:34(LOL)?Great stuff to watch,thank you dearly for the upload!!!!

I have never really thought to ask her.

I know she thought he was attractive, and there is no doubt in my mind she liked the music he brought about, I was never really raised with his music being played in our home.

I think she got caught up more in the wave caused by the Beatles.

[annibarice]

Milton Berle got his undies in a bunch ovee Elvis' hip movements, but he wore dresses, so maybe it was his panty hose that were in a bunch.

[youarenotspecial]

When he goes into his Elvis the Pelvis thing you can hear people in the audience laughing like, "What the hell is this guy doing?!" Less than a year later he was The KING!!! Classic.

[antiquecans69]

True but you can also here the ladies going apeshit haha.

[Superphilipp]

Where the hell are the horn players standing?

[kd5ful]
