Elvis Presley at 155 East 25th Street

In the Sunday Times, August 19, 2007 in the City Section, one of the questions posed to F.Y.I. was where did Elvis Presley record "Hound Dog"? As has been rumored in Baruch College history it was at 155 East 25th Street, home of the library before we moved to our present location.

"On July 2, 1956, in a grueling seven-hour session at the RCA Studios at 155 East 24th Street, Elvis recorded "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel" and "Any Way You Want Me," according to Elvis Presley," by Pamela Clarke Keogh. Steve Sholes was the engineer."( p.2)
