Elvis was busy enjoying his newfound status, meeting people in the business, attending parties, getting introduced to girls, and excitedly spreading the news of his imminent contract with RCA which Colonel Parker was still hashing out. Elvis was completely uninterested in discussing business matters, content to leave that up to the Colonel and Bob Neal. Mae Boren Axton, however, had business to discuss with him. Mae was a promoter from Jacksonville, Florida who had previously worked with the Colonel and Elvis. From the moment she arrived at the convention, she persisted in trying to persuade Elvis to listen to a new song, promising that it would be his first million seller. Finally, Bob Neal was able to convince a reluctant Elvis to take a few minutes to listen to the song. In the hotel room, Mae played "Heartbreak Hotel" for Elvis for the first time. Upon hearing it Elvis exclaimed, "Hot dog, Mae, play it again." He loved it. She played it for him over and over, and before he left the room, Elvis had the song memorized. He told Bob and Mae that night, "That's gonna be my next record." 1955 11 12 Elvis performs at The Louisiana Hayride, Shreveport, LA 1955 11 13 Elvis performs at Ellis Auditorium, Memphis, TN 1955 11 14 Elvis performs at Smith Stadium At F.C.
