Supplemental context
Graceland's chronology records Presley's first Ed Sullivan Show appearance on 9 September 1956 and the waist-up framing of his 6 January 1957 appearance. These dates help locate the original selection's broad reference to television controversy. The same account follows recording, film and merchandise, showing that celebrity was produced through several connected media. Future readers should keep collaborators and musical influences alongside a star's image; the nickname in the original is a cultural label, not a claim that one person created rock and roll.
Creator/community: Elvis Presley, collaborating musicians, songwriters, recording and television workers Place/era: United States; focus on 1950 s recording and television breakthrough
