October 14, 1956

During his breakout year of 1956, the future "King of Rock & Roll" made three appearances in San Antonio. Elvis made his final appearance at the Bexar County Coliseum, San Antonio, Texas on Oct. 14, 1956 - just days after radio stations across the country were playing his latest release "Love Me Tender."

Just before the concert, Elvis was given a plaque by fan club members. In exchange for the bronze plaque which his myriads of teen-age admirers bestowed on him for favoring them with a visit. He, in turn, presented the presidents of the two local Elvis Presley Fan clubs, Sharon Porter and Linda Windham, with a shirt and a tie. The shirt was one from right off his back. Where the tie came from, no one seems to know. The 21-year-old rock 'n' roll performer was also interviewed by the press, including an interview with Al Hitchcock from Radio KEYS in Corpus Christi. He talked about his upcoming film debut "Love Me Tender." When he was told that he'd make a fine actor, Elvis responded by saying that "I'm trying to learn. I'm not very good at (acting), but I'm sure trying to learn."

Just before going on stage in San Antonio that day, Presley was made an honorary member of the Beautify San Antonio Association and was even given a badge that said "Elvis Refuses to be a Litter Bug."
