Elvis Presley and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution
Elvis Presley and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution
October 23, 2016 1:00 pm·
Elvis Presley’s final appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show was on January 6, 1957. CBS censors would not allow his entire body to be shown on live TV, he was seen only from the waist up.
22 years-old Elvis sang seven songs in three segments. Most memorable was his rendition of Peace in the Valley, the famous gospel song as a tribute to the Hungarian Revolution. Sullivan solicited the audience to donate to Hungarian relief efforts and raised about 25 million Swiss francs.
We honor the 60th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution with the soundtrack of the show.
Enjoy!
György Lázár
