ELVIS ON TOUR
“NEW APPEARANCES ON THE SOUTHERN CIRCUITS”
Elvis, Scotty and Bill continue their performance schedule, this time, alongside country stars including Hayride artists. Colonel Parker was already involved in these tours which included the presence of Hank Snow. Meanwhile, the regular appearances at the Hayride continued. It is around this time that drummer DJ Fontana joins Elvis’ band. In the spring, Elvis is not accepted into “Scouts Arthur Godfrey Talent,” a network television show. As always, Elvis’ live performances have a special appeal for teenagers, especially women. His unusual style, and his sexy moves, begin to cause excitement wherever he wants him to perform. Sometimes crowds break security measures.
“IF YOU WANT TO BE A STAR, YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE SUN STAMP”
Elvis’s earnings increase and his popularity begins to receive national attention. Colonel Parker begins to take a greater part in Elvis’ career, with more contracts, better places to perform concerts and new possibilities that Bob Neal cannot reach. In addition, the relationship between Bob Neal and Col. Tom Parker increasingly It deteriorates further due to Parker’s frustration with the lack of professionalism that Bob Neal has regarding Elvis’s career. It becomes evident that in a short period of time, Col.Parker will take full charge of Elvis’s career. It is around this time that Parker, already with a vision of his pupil’s future and prior conversations with Elvis, his family and Sam Phillips himself, begins to look for record companies that can provide Elvis with much greater dissemination and at the same time that they can buy the contract that he Elvis has the Sun label and Phillips is not willing to give it up unless it is for a considerable sum that will allow him to carry out future projects.
After tough negotiations, everything seems to indicate that RCA will be Elvis Presley’s new company.
