February 11, 1956
A snow storm almost prevented Elvis from driving to New York from Charlotte, NC.
With almost no time to spare, Elvis arrived at Studio 50 for his third appearance on the ‘Stage Show’ at CBS Studios, , New York City at 8.00 p.m.
For his third appearance CBS finally gave in to the pressure of Steve Sholes and allowed Elvis to perform Heartbreak Hotel along with Blue Suede Shoes.
The Dorsey band backed him on the last song and Charley Shavers took the instrumental break on trumpet. Other guests on the show were Ella Fitzgerald and Jackie Miles.

I absolutely love Elvis. There has never ever been a doubt about it. He's been my favorite artist of all time since I was a baby. I've seen all his movies. I owned so much merch and memorabilia as a child that I unfortunately lost in my three moves. I can mimic nearly all his dances just by listening to a song. I can name nearly all his songs with just one second audio clips. My bro hates that I can. But with all that said... There is one song that for the life of me I cannot picture Elvis singing it no matter how hard I try. Such a night will always always be Kurt Russell's song to me...
(my favorite fun fact is Kurt did a movie with Elvis when he was a child, then he played Elvis in the TV movie Elvis after Elvis's death, then decades later he played the illegitimate son of Elvis in another movie)
