Beale Street

I'm hoping this picture will post!

Oh good! This comes from a book called "Beale Street - Crossroads of America's Music" by William S. Worley, with photos by Ernest Withers, who took pictures of Elvis on his visits to the WDIA Good Will Revue in 1956. Kind of an important picture and text, considering the nature of recent comments by certain folks - was it Macy Grey??

I believe that's 57 and I would bet it is at the Revue backstage at Ellis.

Right yor are, JamesVRoy. This picture was shot December 6, 1957.

chris j, that is one nice candid.

Ernest Withers took a number of photographs of Elvis at such occasions. Are there any other Elvis-photos in the book??

Yes, but just the familiar ones of Elvis at the Good Will Reviews with Brook Benton in 1957 and BB KIng in 1956.

Withers caught Elvis at the December 7, 1956 and December 6, 1957 WDIA Benefits.
