197 Elvis Presley (1935-1977) “Mystery Train” 1955

A few months after recording the song, Colonel Tom Parker convinced Elvis and his parents to sign a contract with far-reaching consequences. “This put the Colonel in what amounted to an all-powerful position: He had the exclusive right to steer Elvis Presley’s career” (Elvis Presley A Life In Music). Presley's 1954-1955 Sun sessions are listed on the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
