Albersheim's 2015 January Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 1/24/2015
Elvis Presley had already appeared on other national television shows (such as on Stage Show, The Milton Berle Show, and on the popular The Steve Allen Show) when Ed Sullivan booked Elvis for three shows. Elvis' pelvic gyrations during his appearances on these other shows had caused much discussion and concern about the suitability of airing such provocative and sensual movements on television.
This 7" x 9" original UPI photo (stamp on back) dates from his second appearance on the show (Sullivan wasn’t on the first one due to a car accident). Original UPI paper caption attached. HISTORIC!!!
