June 22, 1961 – Elvis Presley
June 22, 1961 – The Elvis movie “Wild in the Country,” co-starring Hope Lange, Millie Perkins, and Tuesday Weld, opens nationally to mixed reviews. Like “Flaming Star,” it is a melodrama with limited singing by Elvis, and not one of his most successful motion pictures. Also in June, the album “Something For Everybody” is shipped. It hits the charts in July, staying for 25 weeks and spending three of those weeks at #1. #ROCkabillyHop @ElvisPresley #Elvis #theKing #WildInTheCountry

June 22, 1959 – The Coasters
June 22, 1959 – “Along Came Jones” by The Coasters peaks at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. It tells the story of Salty Sam trying to extort the deed to a ranch from Sweet Sue by placing her in life-threatening situations, only to be thwarted each time when our hero, slow walking, slow-talking, long-legged, lanky Jones comes along to rescue her. #ROCkabillyHop #RocHop #Billboard #Hot100 #Coasters #AlongCameJones
