ONE OF OUR FAVORITE PIC...FROM OUR 3/3/14, SUNRISE SUNDAY!!!! Louisiana Hayride was a radio and later television country music show broadcast from the Shreveport Municipal Memorial Auditorium in Shreveport, Louisiana, that during its heyday from 1948 to 1960 helped to launch the careers of some of the greatest names in American country and western music. Elvis Presley performed on the radio version of the program in 1954 and made his first television appearance on the television version of Louisiana Hayride on March 3, 1955. Heres somethin from the 5th of March 55. Recently discovered (Hot Little Mama) and some other rare tracks that were done live at the Hayride.. [] HOT LITTLE MAMA: youtu.be/pQfgmpRlffg [] TWEEDLE DEE: youtu.be/Lj2Jg0sQOPg [] MAYBELLENE: youtu.be/WFJoOxaCJBs [] HEARTS OF STONE / I DONT CARE IF THE SUN DONT SHINE: youtu.be/-_myKu5n4Qo {Hearts Of Stone (Saturday, 15 January 1955) I Dont Care if the sun dont shine (Saturday, 22 January 1955)} [] SHAKE RATTLE & ROLL: youtu.be/k9kjF1rDBUM {Recorded live broadcast, at WJOI Radio, Florence, Alabama, January 19, 1955.} By mid-1954, a special 30-minute portion of Louisiana Hayride was being broadcast every Saturday on the AFN Pacific channel of the United Kingdom Scottish Forces Radio Network. On October 16 of that year, a teenager from Memphis, Tennessee named Elvis Presley appeared on the radio program. Presleys performance of his newly released song from Sun Records called Thats All Right Mama brought a tepid response, according to former Hayride emcee Frank Page (1925-2013), but soon after Presley was nonetheless signed to a one-year contract for future appearances. The immediate and enormous demand for more of Presleys new kind of rockabilly music actually resulted in a sharp decline in the popularity of the Louisiana Hayride that until that point had been strictly a country music venue. Elvis Presley - Vocals, Guitar Scotty Moore - Electric Guitar. Bill Black - Bass. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks again for tuning in and sharing the music! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Blues Rocker (Music Page) :: Seth, ex Radio DJ (NYC, Las Vegas) & Abe, LP / Record Collector (Honolulu, Hawaii) https://facebook/blues.rocker.1 Made Up Cover By Blues Rocker.
