Today, on 25 September in Elvis History

Elvis performed at the Eagle's Nest, Memphis.

Elvis received a telegram from RCA with official congratulations for an industry first when additional orders made the single Love Me Tender a gold record before it was even released. RCA got 918230 orders before even releasing the single.

Elvis watched a movie again: Dr. Strangelove at the Memphian. He had just hired Mike Keaton to come to California with the group and in the very early morning he asked Jerry Schilling too to come with them.

Elvis flew home to Memphis and arrived at 6:00 a.m.

Elvis flew to Nashville with Charlie Hodge to add some vocal overdubs on several songs.
