About this listen

It's October twenty-eighth, and on this day in 1957... Elvis Presley performed at the Pan Pacific Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, delivering a show so provocative it triggered outrage from both the press and an audience filled with Hollywood elites and their children. Headlines warned that he would have to "clean up his show or go to jail," and even Colonel Parker received a stern warning. But Elvis, characteristically unfazed, reportedly quipped, “If I don’t dance tonight, maybe I don’t have to take a shower tonight.”
