- Elvis Presley's first television appearance on the short-lived 'Stage Show' lead-in to the Jackie Gleason 'Honeymooners' sitcom program. The said program was hosted by the renowned Dorsey Brothers and Presley was signed to 5 more consecutive appearances over a six week span.
Most versions online are incomplete, abridged or of poor quality.
Song List:
• Shake, Rattle & Roll / Flip, Flop & Fly (Big Joe Turner)
• I Got a Woman (Ray Charles) - Hudba
There is NOTHING like Elvis from 1954 - 1958......EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were my best years.
54 to 58 were the absolute best years for Elvis!! ♥️
It was Colonel Tom Parker, El s' manager, who suggested Elvis enlist in the United States Military.
@@user-fs1gd6iy1u Elvis never wanted to go and never had to go. The US Army had no intentions of drafting the biggest star in US history. It was Parker who crafted the whole thing unbeknownst to Elvis.
Spot on!!
This is hardcore. It is impossible to think of a world without Elvis.
This was hardcore for white America at that time. Adults thought that
he was the Devil.
It's possible.
@@QrayonNope. He may be gone physically, but people will always celebrate him, regardless of the pathetic haters.😊
@@v-town1980 My comment certainly does not make me a "pathetic hater."
My twin sister and I met him at a gas station at 4-years-old! He was performing in Toledo at turkey time, so it was 1956. He came over to our car at a gas station and talked to us, shook our hands and told us he was a twin too! We knew who he was even at that young age! 🤩😍
The defining moment in American culture that signaled a new era, when EVERYTHING was about to change. Truly a momentous, things will never be same" moment.
Not just American culture but world culture.By changing Americans culture he changed the world’s culture.
What a dynamic performance for his first national TV appearance. Elvis looks good, moves good, and sings brilliantly. What must have the American public thought of that performance. He totally revolutionised pop culture and music.
I saw Elvis in concert in Houston and Dallas! Great shows and great memories!
It's such a shame that your last point is lost on a lot of today's youth. They just don't realize that the music they listen to just didn't appear out of thin air.
“ Elvis then and now the coolest guy that ever lived “.
Elvis will always be The King! The haters are clueless😊
When Elvis Presley walks off the stage after singing "I Got A Woman" you just know the world in Pop music and culture had just changed and for that I thank Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey for inviting Elvis Presley And The Blue Moon Boys on their "Stage Show" television program!
Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey were the sons of Irish coal mining family from Shenandoah, Pa.
I watched that LIVE back then! Yes, I'm 80 years old, and have loved that man ever since!
I am your age & remember seeing this on our small b&w TV. I also remember not seeing anything wrong w-his moving -- no one in my family saw it as anything wrong or sexual. In fact, my Mom said "he's going to be very big one day."
Big bands and big band singers controlled the music scene throughout the forties and early fifties. Then along came Elvis. Regards from an 88 (birthday today, March 10th) year old English Elvis fan who was born 1936, one year after Elvis. England, 2024.
Happy birthday 🎉❤
I can just hear parents thinking "Dangerous".................Worlds Greatest Entertainer!
My mother loved Elvis!
@@jimmyjames7174my Mom did too!!
These early appearances on the Stage show fundamentally changed the course of popular music...forever.
He was different from the others singers of those years.

In my opinion, these performances on the Dorsey Brothers' "Stage Show" is the pinnacle of Elvis Presley and The Blue Moon Boys' career!
They truly invented "Rockabilly"!
You know, I wish they'd compile all the "Stage Show" performances and put them out on a DVD box set!
I totally agree!
A revolution in Pop music was at hand!
Elvis Presley And The Blue Moon Boys essentially invented and popularized "Rockabilly"!
Elvis was God Blessed to have The Blue Moon Boys!
Scotty Moore!🎸
His clothes , his hair , his looks ,his shake , no one had ever seen or heard anyone like him !
He started dyeing his hair black soon after this to honor his mother.
The Elvis From the '50's was the best.
It's been said that co-producer Jackie Gleason was responsible for booking Elvis on Stage Show. The Dorsey Brothers didn't care for Elvis at all, and given the stark contrast of Elvis' performances, verses the status quo music at the time, it's easy to see why. At the very moment Elvis stepped foot on that stage, he was a massive 9.0 Earthquake that forever shook the world of music.
True!!
@ToddMcDurmont Jackie Gleason did a special around 1960 centered around a fictional plot to kidnap him, if recollection serves. I still remember a gag from the show. Gleason- as himself- is approached by a stage mother and her little boy, and he has to tell her, "I'm sorry, but in my opinion your son has no future in this business, Mrs. Presley."
Wow! Boy, I would love to see the old kinescope of that episode! Very cool! @@vestibulate
@@ToddMcDurmont Just found a description. The show was aired in 1961. The title was "The Million Dollar Incident" and the director was Norman Jewison, later to do "In the Heat of the Night". Featured in the cast were Gleason, Everett Sloane, Peter Falk, Jack Klugman, and believe it or not, Ed Sullivan. A copy exists and is available for viewing at the Paley Center for Media in New York City and Los Angeles, but I can't find any sign it's been issued on video or DVD. It would be a nice find.
Wow. That's really intriguing. The cast alone makes it interesting. I do wish we all could see it. I suppose it's deliberately protected content. Thanks for sharing!@@vestibulate
Pure class. Elvis took the world by storm. There's nothing wrong with the way he dressed, looked, and sang. I love these b/w performances. Elvis was ( and still is ) the king. No one will ever take that away from him. People thought he was different, but he was a normal young man with a good voice and his own style. There will never be another like him. I love Elvis ❤️ He was the man ❤
Who would have thought back then just how much talent he really had, and how huge his song list would be and how much better his voice really was?!
the world history can be divided as before and after this moment.
Adults: Oh my God. It's the end of the world. Elvis is the Devil.
..and there’s me thinking it was before and after Twitter…..😢
This is amazing! This is Elvis just as he appeared on TV back in the day complete with how it must have sounded with the small TV speakers. The guy was pure dynamite!
And so it begins....

Great little band. Sotty Moore, Bill Black D. J. Fontana and of course Elvis, covering songs and giving it the Elvis treatment. Bill Black's Kay bass is now owned by Paul McCartney.
Elvis in the 50s was absolutely THE BEST -- Totally uninhibited, his natural dark blond hair tossing wildly with his every move ... The original rebel JAMES DEAN, who died tragically just a few months before was Elvis's idol .. It was Dean who paved the way for rebel Elvis (look it up) ... Dean changed acting, Elvis the music...
I love black and white footage, it defines an Era, especially in music.
No really
Elvis was our introduction to Rock A Billy music! We had never heard anything like it and we loved it! I was a kid working in a ice cream store in Dallas Tx. in1955 or1956 when I heard Elvis for the 1st time. I became a life long fan!
Young Elvis doing what he does best: Rockin' and Rolling! 💃💃💃 Awesome! Love his voice and moves. 👍🥇🎤🎧
いちばん始めにR&Rを歌うには「R&Rを反対運動された事」等👑Elvis👑は大変な覚悟でR&Rを歌った王様👑Elvis👑の心が凄いです🕺いつでもTrackの運転手に成ると言った🕺何でも始めにする「歌う」事は大変なRiscが有ります🕺後から歌う人は簡単ですが👑Elvis👑の凄さです🕺R&Rの王様👑Elvis👑です🇺🇸🇯🇵🇺🇸そういう事等で🗺🌍🗺中の人が👑Elvis👑を大好きに成ました🕺今も「ヤッパリ👑Elvis👑がいちばん格好良い」と言って居られます🕺最高峰です🎉🎉🎉
THEY WERE ON THIS SHOW FOR 9 WEEKS STRAIGHT....YOU CAN'T DESCRIBE THE CLAMOR THIS CAUSED
and Gleason said he wud hav prefered a "horn" player
Energy, pitch, intonation, soul - it's all there. Perfect performance. Who could touch him?
I love a young Elvis✨💌💌💌
the bass is in Paul McCartney hands now; he has it now
If the producers had any idea what "I'm like a one eyed cat, peeping in a seafood store" really meant, Elvis would have been banned from tv for life! I am amazed he got away with it.
Elvis-The best performer of all time.
Unlike other performers of his time, Elvis actually looked like he was having fun! He was the original Woke-he woke everyone up!
Yes Elvis lad just turned 21 years , 20 days before this appearance on the Tommy and Jimmy STAGE SHOW program !
le début de la gloire pour la plus grande star de tous les temps
I was watching this tv the night it was showing
He always knew how to be a star.
Thank you, Elvis... thank you very much! 😉
Sings amazing! For the first time on tv. Especially i got a woman sings it perfect
I remember this night. The girls screamed and loved him, the guys not so much. He threatened their masculinity. I went out and bought three of his records and didnt even have a record player.
The impression Elvis made on young Americans & culture, that night & beyond. This is great, I would probably have bought his records too, without a record player.
Love seeing these earlier performances! 😁❤
Oh my young Elvis, please wait for me. As soon as I finish my work I'll get back to you my love. I promise. ❤.
Okay.. I'll wait
For all the nice comments here about how this is the moment that ''history changed'', the truth was that the audience, at this point (Jan. 28, '56) did not really know how to ''take'' Elvis and didn't know who he was. He was the fastest rising star in the South. But not in New York (for sure). They applauded politely, on cue. But he was booked for 6 shows. MEANWHILE, RCA releases Heartbreak Hotel. Now when he performs the song on the Feb. 11 show, the Dorsey band insists on backing him, and they mess the song up with their squaresville horn section. But by the time of the March 17 show, the song is a major hit, the audience is FILLED with screaming girls and the Dorsey band stays silent. THAT is the footage of the moment that he changes the course of Western Culture! He has ALL of the confidence and power we associate with Elvis Presley. He toys with the audience, sneers and leers, as they go berserk. THAT was the performance heard around the world!
BTW, I am AMAZED that he did those two songs without a pick! By the time of the latter performances, he has a pick and the staggering power of his rhythm guitar REALLY adds drive. The version of Money Honey he performs on March 24 (final Dorsey Show and available on YT) is, in my opinion, greater even than the studio version (which is piano dominated). It is SAVAGE, guitar dominated rockabilly and, by then, he is a superstar (and he knows it). These Dorsey Shows were before Berle, Steve Allen, or Sullivan. Over the course of the six shows he goes from stiff and uncertain (and a mostly adult audience) to a sensation on the edge of superstardom like had never been imagined before, playing for an audience of screaming fans (who KNOW that he is, indeed, THE ONE).
Elvis Presley I remember the first time I heard him when I was in school wanna heard Elvis Presley the first record I ever bought was a Elvis Presley record I grew up with his music I Love The Way Elvis Presley dance and sing I guess the 50s were better now
The king of music
Congratullations, Greetings from Lima, Perú
First ever tv appearance and bill randle says " we saw this guy the first time whilst making a movie short"
He's referring to what is now called " the pied piper of brooklyn"
A filmed performance of Elvis and at the time bigger stars around October 1955, there's debate on wether elvis actually sang or not in the movie short, but it was certainly made as bill randle mentions in this clip
Plus he mentioned it in an October 1955 column. Based on that it’s clear that the title was still uncertain, “The Pied Piper…” was one mentioned in the column, “Top Jock” was another.
Given it was allegedly around only 15 minutes and featured other artists besides Elvis, it more than likely only contained snippets of Elvis singing and not full performances. I would also presume like many documentary shorts of the time narration would be over top performances.
The film was supposed to be distributed by Universal but it appears that it was never distributed (maybe they got cold feet over how controversial the music still was?). The footage either remains in Universal’s vault waiting to be rediscovered, or was lost/destroyed decades ago. But there’s more evidence that Elvis’ October 22, 1955 performance in Cleveland was filmed than any rumors of a 1955 appearance by Elvis on the Louisiana Hayride being televised for example.
@@ryankomitor7391uauu Você conhece muito da história de Elvis Presley 🎉
It was "The Pied Piper of Cleveland"
Year I fell for Elvis. And I'm so happy it happed😍😊
Elvis sera toujours Elvis The King
Gene Vincent blue caps very similar. Great Rock n roll.
Certainly one of a kind
Elvis was young, so was TV, R&R and a culture that changed the world to this day. Love the RCA-77DX carbon-ribbon mic!
*Esse sim sempre eterno único e imortal❤❤❤*
“BOSS”🕶
Thank You, thank you very much 🥰💯😍💞 Love my baby😍
this first tv appearance is historical; singing rhythm and blues is historical
Thankyou for sharing excellent
amazing
Congratulations!!!.. Thanks!!
John Lennon once said..."before Elvis there was NOTHING!" How very true. How I wish someone would have saved Elvis from his demise.
Elvis con su hermosa musica nos trasmitió energia.❤ELVIS PRESLEY ÚNICO
始めてのTV出場とは思え無いR&Rの凄さ👑Elvis👑の覚悟と魂は全てにおいて可能にしました👑Elvis👑の勢いは永遠に続きます🎶♫🎶これからも❤🌹❤🌹❤
Probably the greatest thing they ever showed on television. My old man said that Elvis was like Hank Williams on meth . 🎉
Hank Williams was Hank Williams on meth...😂
Elvis loses his guitar pick at 4:08 and plays the rest of the song with his fingers....hard. Professional.
Merci pour ce partage en live et cette vidéo
Superbe archive datant de ma naissance
J'adore
Magnifique
Quel souvenir
Évidemment je n'ai vu cela que plusieurs années après
Quelle classe
Quel professionnalisme même pour une 1ère TV
RIP Elvis Presley
Elvis 54-60, ‘Numero Uno…’
This is before i was born, but damn he was great.
Great video Elvis,
Keep it up 💯 👍
When are all the Elvis Presley "Stage Show" performances going to be compiled and put out on a DVD box set?
Just like the February 1964, debut of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. They broke right through a very stale barrier and (at least Elvis) just "let loose." The Dorsey brothers (giants of the 1940s "swing" era) probably couldn't believe how something so raw and simple could take over so quickly. I think they looked rather stunned - hated it but kept smiling and "invited him back next week!." Oh boy!. omg.
First time I've seen the I got a women performance in a while, seems to be doing it in a lower key than usual I thought it might have been slowed down!
Good ear! I slowed the video down ever-so-slightly, as well as distorted the audio to avoid the video getting flagged.
oh i thought it was the reception@@nathanlennon4291
America only discovered him when he showed up on TV in '56, but if you google his tour schedule from 1954-5, you see him gigging 5-6 nights a week across the south & west coast, in high school gyms, church basements, county fairs, VFW halls, etc. Paying his dues, learning his trade, etc. The way "overnight success" is supposed to work...🙏🎼🎭😎
Esto en 1956 esto fue una bomba. En el mundo de ahora no se lo parece pero fue así.
❤❤🎉😊
Fantastisk flott å se ❤
Fantastic. !!
On his way now
Elvis forever
Thank you for this !!!
love
Natural black soul
Respeito muito os Beatles..mas nunca existiu um quarteto como esse.Elvis,Scot,DJ Fontana e Bill Black..Sensacionais!
incredibly cool
Thanks for this
♥️🥰😘🌟👏👍
Elvis guitar style hard to copy
WOW
Backed by The blue moon boys ,Scotty Moore lead, DJ {Dominic Joseph} Fontana drums and Bill Black bass. I've often wondered why they didn't see themselves a four piece group as opposed to Elvis and The blue moon boys.
He also did "Money Honey" must have been taken out on the actual broadcast.
"Money Honey" was performed on Elvis' sixth and last appearance on 'Stage Show' on March 24, 1956.
This was his first appearance on January 28th.
Yes, I did learn that later on. I was a bit more uneducated on Elvis performances back when I commented that
Elvis Presley maior artista de todos os tempos
Love that guy on the base player. Guves Elvis a run with his movements❤
Elvis and the boys set the music world on fire.Lot's of Bible thumpers claimed that he was the👿incarnate.
❤❤❤❤❤
❤👑👑👑👑👑❤️
Are you able to to this with the other appearances on stage show?
Check out "One night of sin" the original one night with you. So raw . Thats Elvis.
С Скотти Муром Элвис делал великую музыку.❤
Omg
This caused a major uproar when it was first shown. Conservatives don't seem to get it.
True and nowadays it's gone the other way.
It didn't, that's later appearances, show someone a performance and people won't uproar, they'll only do that when it's being written about and people told what to do.
Liberals didn't get it either, but teenagers did.
The right never gets anything .
@@robertmaule1946only the girls got it. Most boys hayed Elvis . I liked his style of singing and mix of music.
