On January
10, 1956, two days after his 21st birthday, Elvis Presley
had his first recording session for RCA, held at their
studio in Nashville. On January 27, "Heartbreak
Hotel," with "I Was the One" on the flipside,
was released and hit Number 1 on the charts, as did
"I Want You, I Need You, I Love You," "Hound
Dog"/"Don't Be Cruel," and "Love
Me Tender," all released in 1956. Capped by the
November release of his first Hollywood movie, Love
Me Tender, Elvis Presley had become a superstar by the
end of 1956. Also produced in 1956 was an Elvis hat
manufactured by the Magnet Hat and Cap Corp. in New
York City. This hat was owned and worn by the King and
comes directly from the Elvis Presley Museum.
