* If ever there was a classic rock and roll single, it was one released on this date in 1956...'Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel' stayed at the top of the charts for eleven weeks, a feat that wasn't matched until 1992.. I'd wager that if you polled a hundred people and asked them to name an Elvis song, the majority of that hundred would pick one of those tunes...

*And 'Hound Dog' was still cast its spell many years later...John Lennon said his young son Sean loved the tune and thought it was about hunting...
