About this listen
It’s June twenty-ninth, and on this day in 1956… Elvis Presley arrived in New York City to begin rehearsals for his upcoming appearance on *The Steve Allen Show*. At the rehearsal hall in midtown Manhattan, Elvis was greeted by Colonel Tom Parker and representatives from the William Morris Agency, along with Steve Allen and co-stars Andy Griffith and Imogene Coca. Elvis and Griffith, already acquainted from earlier shows in Florida, caught up before the run-through. This appearance would become one of the most talked-about moments of Elvis’s early career—featuring him in a tuxedo, singing “Hound Dog” to a basset hound in a top hat, and joining the cast in a comedy skit titled “Range Round Up.”
