"H O U N D . D O G" 5th June 1956 - NBC STUDIOS ~ LOS ANGELES (Continued....) Elvis biographer Peter Guralnick perceptively noted how during Scotty Moore’s solo the singer hangs back and exhibits the “shrugging, stuttering, existential hopelessness of James Dean” (who indeed was one of Presley’s idols) but it was what Elvis did during those moments when he held centre stage that really define this clip. Twenty seconds in, Elvis stretches out his left arm and lets his hand quiver and vibrate seductively in the air, as though his whole body is charged with the electrical energy of the song. It’s basically all over at this point: Elvis has won, and the gyrating hip thrusts, the plaintive, bent-knee bearing and toe-pop poses are all merely icing on the cake. -------------------- |
