Elvis Presley, at age 21, performed four songs on "The Ed Sullivan Show" on this day in history, Sept. 9, 1956. It was the most-watched broadcast of the 1950s.
However, after several of his competitors saw massive ratings when Presley appeared on their shows, Sullivan reconsidered his ban, said the History Channel's website. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Sullivan signed Presley to a three-appearance contract, paying the rock star $50,000. This was an "unprecedented" fee at the time, noted the History Channel.
