Elvis Presley FIRST LIVE Performance on Louisiana Hayride

The First Spark of the King — Elvis Presley, October 16th 1954 (Louisiana Hayride)
October 16, 1954 — Shreveport, Louisiana.
A nineteen-year-old Elvis Presley walked onto the stage of the Louisiana Hayride, and music would never sound the same again.

Before the gold records.
Before the fame.
Before the legend.

There was a shy truck driver from Memphis,
singing That’s All Right with trembling hands and a fire in his soul.

That night — broadcast live on KWKH Radio —
Elvis transformed from an unknown boy into the heartbeat of a new era.
It was his first professional radio performance,
and the moment the world met the King.
