'He went around the park on the back of that cadillac, and all you could see was just thousands of bulbs going off.' Dj Fontana..
By the end of 1956, Elvis was a superstar, and he was finding out that fame could snap back. His work meant he barely had time to sleep, and it was impossible to have a private life.
Elvis's career hit new heights in October 1956: the title track of his first film, 'love me tender' had gone gold. And his next movie was already in the pipeline.
On October 11, he began a four-date tour of Texas, starting at the cotton bowl, Dallas, where he managed to reduce the crowd of 26,500 to a screaming mass.
No one could deny now that Elvis had scaled the heady heights of stardom.
