Black Vinyl LP

Following the unexpected massive success of “Heartbreak Hotel,” this was as startling a debut record as any ever made, representing every side of Elvis’ musical influences — gospel, rockabilly, blues, R&B, country and pop were all here in an explosive and seductive combination. Elvis Presley became the first rock & roll album to reach the #1 spot on the national charts, and RCA’s first million dollar-earning pop album.
