Who wouldn’t love to receive a DVD filled with performances by Elvis Presley? I know I hit the roof when I got my mail a few days ago holding the electrifying appearances of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show.
My youngest (6) was pretty tickled when I opened the DVD and played it. By the end of the video, she was instantly addicted to his voice and music like so many others who hear Elvis for the first time. In fact…since watching, she can now do a spectacular impersonation of Elvis with the “Thank you, Thank you very much” bit…it sounds so cute, I wish you could hear it. 
This DVD has got some rockin’ special features including rare home movies capturing a very early Elvis performance that was shot on August 7, 1955 near Houston, Texas. It also includes Elvis and Ed remembered: Interviews with record producer Sam Phillips and TV personality Wink Martindale and much more.
You’ll get to sit on your couch and watch (just as 60 million people did); hit songs like Don’t be Cruel, Love Me Tender, Hound Dog, Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me, Ready Teddy, Too Much, When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again and last, but certainly not least Peace In the Valley.
Share the excitement of Elvis Presley’s earth-shattering introduction to the nation in this collection of iconic performances from “The Ed Sullivan Show,” and experience for yourself why Elvis became the legendary King of Rock and Roll! Appearing on the show Sept. 9, 1956, Elvis sent shock waves through a repressed nation with his soulful singing, wild hip gyrations and raw energy, attracting a record-breaking TV audience of more than 60 million people. Presley returned on Oct. 28, 1956, continuing to provoke ecstatic screams with hits such as “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Love Me Tender” and “Hound Dog.” In fact, these exhilarating performances were so explosive that Elvis was filmed above the waist during his final Sullivan show appearance on January 6, 1957!
