On July 2, 1956, Elvis went into rca’s NYC studios to record “Hound Dog.” It was the first song on which the vocal talents of the Jordanaires were used. Take #31 was selected by RCA for release. “Hound Dog” had a 28-week stay on Billboard’s Top 100 chart, peaking at #2 for three weeks. The Platters’ “My Prayer” and then Elvis’ “Don’t Be Cruel” kept “Hound Dog” from the top spot. The song was number one for three weeks on the Country Juke Box chart and number one for one week on the rhythm & blues chart. Sales in 1956 alone exceeded six million copies. This is the picture disc issue of “A Legendary Performer Vol. 3″ from the 1970′s, featuring the original mono release of “Hound Dog.”
