RARE ELVIS 16” Record RADIO TRANSCRIPTION PROMO INTERVIEW MARCH OF DIMES 1957
Offered here is a 16” Radio Transcription of radio interviews with six stars, including Elvis Presley, Jill Corey, Andy Williams, Alan Dale, the Mills Brothers and Guy Mitchell promoting the 1957 March of Dimes campaign. These records were provided to radio stations along with a script for the Disc Jockey, allowing the DJ to “interview” these artists. I do NOT have the paper script that would have come with this record.
Each artist talks in response to the texted questions about themselves and their career, finally appealing for donations to the March of Dimes. Then they “sing” a song, which is usually the commercially released track.
The record is in excellent condition.
Excerpts from the Elvis interview:
“what’s so controversial about me?’
“whatever I do I always want to do my best for the teenagers I certainly never want to do anything that would be a wrong influence”
“When I sing I just sing from my heart”
“As long as I live I’ll never stop being grateful to the American people for giving me this big break.”
