Elvis entered a talent contest at the annual Mississippi - Alabama Fair and Diary Show, in the middle of the town.
His teacher, Mrs. Oleta Grimes, had arranged this, after she heard Elvis sing that morning at school. Elvis sung "Old Shep", while standing on a chair and without any accompaniment.

Warning to Elvis fans who only like the 50's rebel or the emotional ballads of the 70's, this film, song and soundtrack are not for you. But, if you want to see Elvis in a true musical (or as close as he got to one), looking like a million bucks, then watch this movie and have fun. The soundtrack LP is enjoyable if you are not hung up on what other musical acts were doing in 1966 and you just want a well sung easy listening album.
