When Elvis Came to Tampa

In the mid-1950s, Elvis Presley couldn’t help falling in love with Tampa. Almost sixty years ago today, Elvis performed at the Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory, one of four concerts in Tampa in 1955-56. The Aug. 5, 1956, show in Tampa came on the heels of his appearance on The Steve Allen Show, where he performed “Hound Dog.”
