Changes

Elvis Presley had a physical style in his concerts that was considered by many to be suggestive and scandalous.  He gyrated his body with the music, in a way that would be considered tame by contemporary standards, but was unheard-of at the time.  He was sometimes given the name "Elvis the Pelvis" for this, and was sometimes shown in television concerts only from the waist up.

====Ed Sullivan Shows====

Presley first appeared on ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' on September 9, 1956, despite Sullivan personally vowing he would never have Presley on the show. Sullivan entered Presley after rival Steve Allen received a jump in ratings due to Presley's appearance on his show. His second appearance on the Sullivan show was on October 28, 1956. That appearance included a four minute version of "Hound Dog". The third and final show was on January 6, 1957. This show sparked controversy, as Presley was shot only from the waist up. It was seen as censoring his hip gyrations. Presley responded by wiggling his finger and causing an uproar in the audience.

That appearance included Elvis performed "Don't Be Cruel", and "Love Me Tender", as well as a four minute version of "Hound Dog". As Sullivan stood behind Presley during the show, addressing the audience, Presley began shaking his legs, eliciting an uproar from the audience. As Sullivan stood his head, Presley became motionless. After Presley was leaving the stage, Sullivan said "I can’t figure this darn thing out. You know. He just does this [Ed shakes his legs] and everybody yells."  The third and final show was on January 6, 1957. This show sparked controversy, as Presley was shot only from the waist up.
