Ellis Auditorium, 225 North Main Street, Memphis, Tennessee.
The WDIA Goodwill Review this year features Ray Charles, Little Junior Parker, Brook Benton, (photo) Bobby "Blue" Bland, the Staple Singers, and the Spirit of Memphis Quartet.
Once again Elvis is a warmly greeted backstage visitor, having his picture taken with big heroes, Little Junior Parker and Bobby Bland. (photo) The next day he is quoted in the Memphis Press-Scimitar as saying that their music, rhythm and blues, is "the real thing.... right from the heart."
In a long letter to Harry Kalcheim, Colonel Parker vigorously defends his decision to stop booking live performances. He reiterates his frequently voiced contention that this kind of overexposure can only harm his client and that all along his goal has been to build Elvis into an artist who will remain at the top of the entertainment field for years to come.
