On August 6, 1956, the king gave what has been remembered as an iconic performance right here in Lakeland. During the time, his song “Hound Dog” was new and trending – drawing in eager crowds to hear the hunk of burnin’ love, along with a few other artists. 

Did we mention their tickets were $1.50?
