December 7th in Elvis History

It's December seventh, and on this day in 1955… Elvis Presley performed four shows at the Lyric Theater in Indianapolis, Indiana, earning \$1,000 for the day. Tom Diskin reported to Colonel Parker that Elvis was improving with every performance, electrifying the crowd, though he still needed to work on pacing his act. The intense schedule and growing feedback marked a period of rapid growth as Elvis honed the stage presence that would soon captivate the world.
