Elvis Serenading a Hound Dog – 1956

Just a day after Elvis Presley recorded his famous track “Hound Dog,” he donned evening attire replete with a tie and tails and serenaded a rather moppy-looking hound dog in a top hat on The Steve Allen Show in 1956.

At the time, the 21-year-old Elvis was enjoying the stardom that came with his chart-topping debut album. His pop hit “Heartbreak Hotel” was #1 on the Billboard top 100 and he was making quite a stir with his signature pelvic gyrations that sent crowds of adoring teen fans screeching and their parents scowling.
