3rd August 1956, Friday

Elvis Presley is pictured with his cousin Carroll "Junior" Smith (Gene Smith's elder brother) in the back seat of a taxi cab in Miami, FL on Friday, August 3, 1956. He came to The Sunshine State for a few weeks of touring before heading to Los Angeles, CA to begin filming on his first movie "Love Me Tender". Over two days (August 3 + 4, 1956), Elvis managed seven shows at the Olympia Theater in Miami, Florida.
