3. What was the day, month, and year of Elvis' first commercial record release?
From Quiz Elvis Presley, the King of Entertainment
Answer:
19 July 1954
"That's All Right (Little Mama)", Elvis' first recording session, was booked on July 6, 1954. Most remember the famous now legendary story of Elvis, Scotty Moore, and Bill Black, taking a break from recording, and Elvis ad-libbing to Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's song. Producer/owner of Sun Records, Sam Phillips, ran into the recording area, and asked what the boys were doing. "We don't know" was their basic reply. "Well, whatever it is do it again". Those other dates: 10 May 1956: Elvis' first recording session for RCA. 30 June 1953: Elvis would graduate from Humes High School around this time. And 8 January 1956 is a day EVERY Elvis fan recalls: Elvis' birthday.
