ELVIS PRESLEY 1956 Tulsa Oklahoma Reproduction Concert Poster
This is a high quality lithograph reproduction concert poster for The King's appearance in Tulsa OK at the Fairgrounds Pavillion in 1956. Elvis Presley remains a pop icon and is regarded as one the most significant and influential entertainers of the last fifty years. An american music giant of the 20th century who single-handedly changed the course of music and culture in the mid-1950s, Elvis is one of the most talked about and written about performers of the 20th Century. His rockabilly combination of country music with bluesy vocals and a strong back beat marked a clear path toward rock & roll. He was the most commercially successful singer of rock and roll, but he also had success with ballads, country, gospel, blues, pop, folk and even semi-operatic and jazz standards. His voice, which developed into many voices as his career progressed, had always a unique tonality and an extraordinarily unusual center of gravity, leading to his ability to tackle a range of songs and melodies which would be nearly impossible for most other popular singers to achieve. In a musical career of over two decades, Presley set many records, such as concert attendance, television ratings, and records sales, and became one of the best-selling artists in music history.
This poster is for a concert that ocurred shortly after his first national exposure in Jan 1956 on the Dorsey Brother's 'Stage Show', the first of a flurry of television appearances that cemented Elvis as a national phenomenon. He played this tour with his legendary touring and recording band of Scotty Moore, Bill Black and D. J. Fontana. A great poster for an early show, this poster has a nice vintage promo image of the 'King of Rock & Roll'.
