Wertheimer writes about the photo (pictured above) while appearing on the "Dorsey Brothers' Stage Show" in 1956:
"Elvis at the time had just turned 21. He hadn't even had a gold record yet. He was only really well-known in the South, connected to the Hanksville Jamboree. And now he was performing, and his job was to sing two songs. It took him about six minutes, and that was it."
