Today, on 8 December in Elvis History

Most likely this was the date Elvis had his Sun session in which he recorded Milkow Blues Boogie and You're A Heartbreaker.

Elvis appeared at the Rialto Theater, Louisville, Kentucky with Hank Snow for Philip Morris Company employees.

Elvis went shopping again: He bought a house for Joe Esposito and his wife in west Los Angeles and Mercedeses for himself, Jerry Schilling and Barbara Leigh.

Elvis received a bill from IC Costume: $9,525 for 5 jumpsuits, 5 silk shirts, 5 corduroy suits and repairs to 8 jumpsuits.
