"The Night ELVIS Flipped His Pelvis"

'On-The-QT' magazine - December 1956

Spotlight by Piers Beagley / Paul Gansky

The fifth in an EIN series looking at early, original magazine articles about Elvis Presley

Another brilliant article of-its-time from 'On The QT' magazine, published December 1956.

The front cover listed the story as

"The Night ELVIS Flipped His Pelvis"

 

Money isn't the only thing Elvis is getting plenty of. He's the reigning idol of every screaming bobby-soxer in the nation. Girls fight to get near him, quivering with ecstasy at the very thought of touching him.

What a setup! That's flying, man, flying - especially for a truck-driving cat from the sleepy little town of Tupelo, Mississippi....

And Dr. Walstein suggests that parents who are concerned over kids listening to rock-'n'-roll might need to be psychoanalyzed themselves.

 

Early last June when he appeared on Milton Berle's TV show in New York Elvis' jeans were so hot television screens all over the country all but melted away. The New York Daily News headlined the story:
POP MUSIC SINKS TO ITS LOWEST IN PRESLEY ACT
"Elvis, who rotates his pelvis, is appalling musically" wrote the Daily News critic.

Original article by Tom McCardell

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS a week when you're 21 years young is an awful lot of money - but that's what a cat named Elvis (Prince of the Pelvis) Presley is raking in before Uncle Sam takes his cut.

According to Billboard, the show-biz Bible, Elvis is the hottest thing in the entertainment world. He's averaging from six to ten records per month on Billboard's authoritative compilation called "The Top 100 Tunes in the Nation."

Any singer who manages to crack the list with just one tune considers himself a financial success for the year.
This gives you some idea of how much money is jangling around loose in young Presley's pockets. But money isn't the only thing Elvis is getting plenty of. He's the reigning idol of every screaming bobby-soxer in the nation. Girls fight to get near him, quivering with ecstasy at the very thought of touching him.

What a setup! That's flying, man, flying - especially for a truck-driving cat from the sleepy little town of Tupelo, Mississippi, where his father's income only a few years ago never went over $250 a month.

There's little wonder this kid is on a merry-go-round, living it up in every way except smoking and drinking - two vices Elvis has so far steadfastly resisted. Yet only a few months ago a puzzling thing happened to him.
Elvis was going so strong, so fast and so wide open that the pace became too much. One night in Jacksonville, Florida he plain collapsed - just laid back and passed out cold.

Musicians who joined Elvis on that tour through Florida say he was jumping and jiving and living it up for a week before the night he broke down. Tense and nervous after a tumultuous show, Elvis walked toward a parked car, then slumped to the ground.

"We took him to a hospital," Bill Black remembers, "but he turned up again at the hotel the next morning. All he said was that he couldn't sleep over at the hospital."

Recently one of Elvis' closest friends, Robert Johnson, asked him if he wasn't burning the candle too much at both ends. Another pal warned him that life doesn't begin at 40 if you go like 60 when you're 20. But Elvis always has a ready answer: "I had hot flashes and got dizzy that night in Jacksonville," he explains. "It hasn't happened since."

There's hardly a teen-age girl these days who doesn't get hot flashes as she watches Elvis go through his motions. In the brief span of a few years he has become a living legend- surrounded by more rumors than a luxury liner loaded down with chorus girls and college boys and nowhere to go.

Girls like Elvis for a lot of reasons. "He's fascinating, like a snake," says one ardent admirer. "I like him because he looks so mean," says another. And still another untrue comment goes like this: "I hear he's been in and out of jail and he's gonna die of cancer in six months."

One of the most persistent canards about Elvis is he's on a dope kick. A New York columnist wrote an item about a rock n' roll king who was having so many marijuana orgies with women that two detectives were hired to watch him constantly, lest his private life erupt into a disastrous scandal. Only a few days later the same columnist ran another item which said, in effect: "Elvis Presley has to have guards on the stage with him at every appearance." It follows that a lot of people thought Elvis was the hopped-up rock n' roller who needed two guards to keep him out of trouble.

Elvis Presley is far and away the least love-starved young man in the U.S.A. He used to be an usher in a movie house in Memphis, Tennessee. One day the manager told him to turn in his uniform - he was fired. The reason, Elvis admits, was this: "Ah was getting free candy from the girl at the candy counter - and, ah, and so forth . . ."

Today millions of high-school girls would exchange their favorite boyfriend for that girl's place amid the candy and popcorn. Wherever Elvis goes, they mob him, rip away his clothes and scratch his name and initials on their arms.

Elvis takes all this with a bit of a yawn. "Ah don't play around with teenagers," he says. "They're just trouble too immature."

When older people think of Elvis they recall the Rudolf Valentino era. Valentino didn't carry away any prizes as an actor but when he blinked at the ladies from the silent screen, they knew he was batting unadulterated sex their way. Elvis, as most of his critics will tell you, flashes the same message with his pelvis.

In many ways Elvis talks and acts like a typical young man of 21 who thrives on motorcycles, Cadillacs and girls.

But when screams of "We want Elvis!" come welling up to his bedroom window from a hundred or more girlish throats, his manner becomes very mature. After the girls have shouted long enough he casually saunters to the window, rests his folded arms on the sill, puts his chin in his arms and slowly sweeps the crowd with his glance.

For just an instant each girl sees him looking directly into her very own eyes. Then he disappears again. The screams turn to a moan, then it starts all over again: "We want Elvis! We want Elvis!"

Valentino himself couldn't have played a scene with more finesse. Elvis, however, doesn't always bring down the house when he goes into his song and dance.

When he appeared at the New Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas, his first night-club engagement, one magazine critic took his act apart like a one-man wrecking crew.

"Wedged into a show built around Freddy Martin's silken arrangements of Tchaikovsky, Elvis was something like a jug of corn liquor at a champagne party" wrote the critic. "He hollered songs and his bodily movements were embarrassingly specific. Most of the Las Vegas audience, slick and moneyed, sighed with relief when Martin took over again, having sat through Presley as though he were a clinical experiment."

To put the record straight, Elvis, in his own way, knows how to be experimental — especially with women and cars. One of the intriguing things about him is his strange complex about Cadillacs. One might even say Elvis goes for Cadillacs the same way he goes for women - he can't get along without 'em and sometimes he wrecks 'em.

Today Elvis owns 4 Cadillacs, all in different colors. But in his heart he has a soft spot for the first one he ever bought- the Cadillac that burned to a crisp on a road in Arkansas.

Driving to Texarkana one afternoon with a girl friend to fill a theater engagement, Elvis looked into the rear-view mirror and saw flames shooting up behind the car. The Cadillac's whole back end was on fire and Elvis had been blithely driving along, unaware of it. The car was destroyed, and ever since that day friends have teased him about what he and his girlfriend were doing to set the car on fire.

Born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1935, Elvis began singing for friends and church gatherings before he was 5 years old. He taught himself to play a guitar by first picking away at a broomstick and later buying himself a $2.98 guitar.

While still a high-school student he strolled into the Sun Recording Company in Memphis one day and asked to make a record at his own expense. Sam Phillips, Sun president, heard him sing and signed him to a contract. The record became a hit throughout Tennessee.

Elvis was also attracting plenty of attention with his strange kind of dancing. "Always bouncing around, crazy-like, kicking and wiggling and jerking his shoulders and acting like his jeans was on fire," was the way one neighbor in Memphis described Elvis in his high-school days.

 

Early last June when he appeared on Milton Berle's TV show in New York Elvis' jeans were so hot television screens all over the country all but melted away. The New York Daily News headlined the story:

POP MUSIC SINKS TO ITS LOWEST IN PRESLEY ACT

"Elvis, who rotates his pelvis, is appalling musically," wrote Ben Gross, the Daily News critic. "This fellow is supposed to be a singer. But if his howling and yowling, wailing, screeching and caterwauling is a form of song, then a tomcat on a back fence deserves the title of 'world's greatest vocalist.' This new phenomenon, as he sings, indulges in bumps and grinds and other motions that would bring a blush to the cheeks of a hardened burlesque theater usher. He wiggles and wriggles, itches and scratches, spins and gyrates as if he were doing a loathsome takeoff of a victim of the St. Vitus Dance."

A deluge of letters protesting the criticism leveled against Elvis descended upon those who had dared to write any offending words. A raging controversy began as millions of teenage girls and their parents hotly debated Elvis, his pelvis, and his erotic style of dance.

But Dr. Ben Walstein, a prominent New York psychologist and author of a book "Transference of Psychoanalytic Therapy," took a calm view of the whole uproar. When interviewed over a Manhattan radio station Dr. Walstein told his listeners:

"I see nothing particularly harmful about rock-and-roll music, per se. In every generation adolescence finds some style of music that expresses some of the yearnings, frustrations, and frantic searching quality that adolescents have. And I don't see why, if the kids today have decided this is the kind of music that expresses their search and their frustration, we should ban it or interfere with their listening to it."

Dr. Walstein suggested that older people or parents who are concerned over kids listening to rock-n'-roll might need to be psychoanalyzed themselves.

Some parents may dislike the way Elvis struts his stuff but his own mother certainly isn't one of them. When he visited Memphis recently Elvis asked his mother if she thought he was vulgar. "Of course you're not vulgar," she replied. "You go on performing the way you feel like performing, son."

Clearly obvious is the fact that Mrs. Presley knows what every bobby-soxer knows Elvis without the pelvis is like a ship without a sail.

THE END

Spotlight "What is Presley doing to our children?" Home Journal magazine 1957: From Canadian Home Journal magazine, June 1957 issue.

. 'By the time Elvis stepped into the spotlight his audience was well primed. The auditorium became a nightmare of piercing shrieks and screams front 18,000 young throats.
Then he began to sing. But his performance was more a pantomime. He could only be heard in snatches when he wasn't contorting his body or face. Screams and shrieks poured in waves from all sides of the huge auditorium and increased in direct proportion to the intensity of his gyrations which closely resemble those of a burlesque dancer.
I was in the very midst of a kind of emotional violence I'd never witnessed before and couldn't understand or assess...
Is this mass hysteria harmful to adolescents?
Three experts suspect it is....

Spotlight "Elvis Presley: Hollywood Hot Shot or Flop?" Movieland magazine 1956: From Movieland magazine the October 1956 issue.

... 'The most controversial performer in show business today is husky, long-haired, hip-swinging, rock 'n' roll singer Elvis Presley. ... and he can afford to smile at the controversy the mere mention of his name arouses. To date such controversy has meant a million gross within his first show biz year as well as a comfortable seven-year Hollywood film contract.
Hal Wallis, who signed Martin and Lewis to their first Hollywood contract, is the astute producer who is willing to gamble on having the right answer to the question: "Elvis Presley - Hollywood Hot Shot or Flop?"

Spotlight "The Impact of Elvis Presley" LIFE magazine 1956: From the well-respected LIFE magazine August 27 1956 issue.

'Elvis - a Different Kind of Idol' Presley’s impact piles up fans, fads and fears.
In it they note that, "Up to a point, the country can withstand the impact of Elvis Presley as a familiar and acceptable phenomenon" as the US had seen it before with Sinatra and Rudy Vallee.
"The rewards of this, bump and grind, fearless expression are almost unbelievable for the young man who gave up his truck driving job two years ago to become a full-time singer."
Luckily the local Trinity Baptist Church was saying a Prayer For Elvis with the Reverent Gray noting that Elvis "had achieved a new low in spiritual degeneracy."

Elvis' career certainly lasted a little longer than the LIFE magazine writers expected back in 1956!

Spotlight "Elvis Presley: Sun's Newest Star": Printed in the US 'Cowboy Songs' June 1955 issue this was the first national magazine article about Elvis. 
The magazine was dedicated to "Hillbilly - Western Songs" and "Favorite Folktunes", country musicians Webb Pierce, Ferlin Husky and The Davis Sisters were all noted on the font cover - along with "Elvis Presley - A Dream Come True".
The article noted that, 'Elvis Presley 'Sun’s Newest Star' at 19 is already enjoying the first reality of life’s dream: to sing for people and hear the spontaneous applause that means he’s made a hit!'
It is interesting that despite the magazines focus on folktunes / country songs the article praises Elvis for his "authentic treatment of Rhythm and Blues songs".

"Baby, Let's Play House": Recorded at Sun Studios in February 1955, Presley’s historic rendition of "Baby, Let's Play House" reveals the comprehensive love for – and knowledge of – the blues. Compared to the Arthur Gunter original Elvis’s version is much more emphatic, playful, exuberant, tougher and scornful. The interplay between Bill Black’s thunderous bass-slapping, Elvis’s audacious, experimental vocal – he makes use of every trick in his rapidly expanding vocal repertoire – and Scotty Moore’s snarling rhythm guitar creates something that transcends such labels as country and blues.
“You may have a pink Cadillac but don’t you be nobody’s fool.” But who is Elvis singing to here?

In this EIN Spotlight respected author Paul Simpson takes a fascinating look at this Sun Studios Elvis classic..

Did Elvis Record 'Tiger Man' At Sun?: A question that has puzzled Elvis fans through the years is whether he actually recorded the song ‘Tiger Man’ during his years at SUN studios.
The basic question is why did Elvis refer to 'Tiger man' several times in concert as “The second song that I ever recorded, not too many people heard it”?
And if Elvis DID record it, then why hasn’t any reference to it at SUN or proof of its existence been found?
Elvis would first perform ‘Tiger Man’ in concert at his first 1969 Las Vegas International season and would continue playing it through the years – usually in a medley with Mystery Train - until his last performance at Saginaw on May 3 1977. He would sing it over 150 times on stage!
The thought that there might be an acetate or undiscovered tape of Elvis at SUN singing ‘Tiger Man’ is a mouth-watering concept - but is it an unlikely fantasy or strong possibility?
Go here to our detailed 'TIGER MAN' spotlight as EIN's Piers Beagley puts in the hard yards to check the facts from the fantasy .

'1956, Elvis Presley’s Pivotal Year': TIME magazine featured this recent article by SONY/FTD's music producer and consultant Roger Semon. The article helps explain to readers what the new deluxe box-set 'Young Man With The Big Beat' is all about.
... "In the mid-1950s, the post-war Eisenhower era of social conformity in America was at its peak, and musically, the most threatening image appeared to be Bill Haley’s kiss-curl as he sang “Rock Around The Clock.” That all changed on Jan. 28, 1956, when a raw and electric Elvis Presley made his breakthrough on the CBS program Stage Show. Presley’s good looks, sensuous moves and mesmerizing voice made him a sensation overnight. But it wasn’t until a third appearance on the show that Presley truly challenged the status quo. On Feb. 11, the singer performed “Heartbreak Hotel” and by April, the single would be #1 on the Billboard chart. At last, teenagers had music of their own to swoon over while their parents continued listening to Frank Sinatra and Mario Lanza....
