Episode Synopsis

It's November twenty-first, and on this day in 1956… *Love Me Tender* was released nationwide in theaters across the United States, while RCA Victor officially released Elvis’s recording of the title song. The film, which marked Elvis Presley's acting debut, had already generated tremendous buzz. The song itself broke records with over one million advance orders, earning gold status even before it hit store shelves. This dual release cemented Elvis’s place not just as a rock and roll star, but as a bona fide movie idol and cultural phenomenon.
