It's May 28th, and on this day in 1955, Elvis performed for the second time on the "Big D Jamboree" radio show, broadcast live from the City Sportatorium in Dallas, Texas. This performance marked another important step in Elvis's early career, as he shared the stage with other country and rockabilly stars, such as Onie Wheeler, Arlie Duff, and Texas Bill Strength. It was during his appearances on the "Big D Jamboree" that Elvis's first manager, Bob Neal, met Colonel Tom Parker, a meeting that would ultimately shape Elvis's future. Bob Neal, who would later lose his management rights due to Parker's influential connections, would go on to represent a legendary list of artists, including Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and more.
