"almost everyone says 'and then we saw him on Ed Sullivan.' NOBODY ever says they saw him on the Dorsey show, Milton Berle, or Steve Allen." Well, sorry Mr. Marcus, but I saw Elvis on ALL those TV shows in 1956-57. I watched him go from the rough and raw Memphis Flash to a slick and sexy "Electric Elvis." Those three famous Ed Sullivan shows are now available in the 3 DVD set -- the first two shows have Elvis in full frame, while the third program is "from the waist up"
