January 28th in Elvis History

It's January 28, and on this day in 1956… Elvis Presley made his national television debut on CBS’s *Stage Show*, hosted by the Dorsey Brothers. Rehearsals took place that morning at Nola Studios, and the show went live at 8:00 p.m. from the CBS Studios in New York. Although winter weather and Elvis’s then-limited fame kept the studio audience small, the moment marked a pivotal turning point in his career. With slicked-back hair, a pink jacket, and raw energy, Elvis delivered a performance that would soon launch him into national stardom.
