Jail house rock was very popular as it had a fast and quick beat, and with Elvis s a bit screaming voice made it all the more lively to the ear.
It was Jail House Rock
Elvis Presley performed at the International Hotel in Las Vegas in 1969, but he did not perform in a jail. However, he did famously visit the infamous Arizona State Prison in 1956 to meet inmates. His music and persona often resonated with themes of rebellion and freedom, but there are no records of him giving a concert in a jail setting.
The song is "Jailhouse Rock" and yes, it takes place in a jail. The song was written to be the theme for a movie starring Elvis Presley, who was a HUGE star, especially with teenagers at that time (1957). The lyrics, sung by Elvis, are about how the warden threw a party for the inmates, and he used rock music to win over the "jailbirds" (prisoners), several of whom got so caught up in the music that they didn't even want to escape when they had a chance. The song was not only a fun rock and roll song, but it reinforced the theme of the movie-- that rock music could have positive effects on people (even inmates). The movie itself was about a young prisoner (played by Elvis) whose musical talents help him to turn his life around and become a success.
The song was released November 8th 1957.
