Rebecca Malone & Elvis
That was more appearances in one town than any other town he visited during his time with Sun Records--with the exception of Shreveport, where he had a contract to appear on the weekly Louisiana Hayride and Houston. In 1955, he made only five other appearances in Alabama, Mobile twice and once each in Montgomery, Prichard and the little burgs of Leachville and Jackson. Does anyone know where the heck Leachville is?
Everybody who writes about Elvis says that all the guys hated him and the girls went crazy when he was on stage. Guys mellowed over time, and, now, most everybody looks back and says that he was the indisputable top entertainment star of our youth. Then, when we were no longer "youth," the Beatles came along. Elvis trails only them in all-time popularity--as measured by records/albums sold.
