Pencil signature, "Thanks, Elvis Presley,” on an off-white 5 x 2.25 sheet. Includes three additional sheets containing signatures of Blue Moon Boys drummer D. J. Fontana, Jordanaires singer Hugh Jarrett, and several members of the southern gospel groups The Blackwood Brothers and The Statesmen Quartet, which includes Jake Hess, Hovie Lister, James ‘Big Chief’ Wetherington, James Blackwood, Jim Cole, Cecil Blackwood, Connor B. Hall, Fred Daniel, Doy Ott, and Denver Crumpler. In very good to fine condition, with light folds and creases. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Rockology Nashville and a letter of authenticity from The Elvis Pawn Shop, which states that the Presley autograph was obtained by a young fan at the Ellis Auditorium in Memphis, Tennessee, on July 27, 1956. It was on this date when Presley made a surprise appearance on stage at the Blackwood Brothers’ All-Night Gospel Singing and sang the two songs ‘Jesus Filled My Every Need’ and ‘You'll Never Walk Alone’ with The Statesmen Quartet. The event was of particular importance as it was the first time that Presley sang with The Statesmen Quartet, a group he had idolized as a child, and Hess, whose singing style made a profound impression on him.
