In 1955, Elvis Presley performed at the Soldier’s and Sailor’s Memorial Hall in Brownwood. The show was sponsored by the Brownwood Volunteer Fire Department. The show was part of a weeklong tour with Johnny Cash, Wanda Jackson and Porter Waggoner.  There was nothing particularly unusual about this date as Elvis was playing all over Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi in 1955.  Check out this concert schedule.  James Brown was not the hardest working man in show biz in 1955.
