The First Sightings Of Elvis In Cleveland

Elvis Presley and Bill HaleyElvis was first sighted in Cleveland on February 26th, March 28th, August 20th and October 19th of 1955! That's right, Tommy Edwards, a WERE Disc jockey, brought Elvis here four times at the Circle Theater. Not only was Tommy Edwards the first to bring Elvis to town, he was the first to play Elvis on the Cleveland airwaves – “Blue Moon of Kentucky” was the song he chose.

This world famous photo of Elvis & Bill Haley was also taken by Tommy Edwards at Brooklyn High School on October 20th, 1955.

Both Elvis Presley and Bill Haley are inductees in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and both were honored by the postmaster with their own stamp!
