March of Dimes – Galaxy of Stars (1957) – 12” Vinyl Reissue (including Elvis Presley)

March of Dimes – Galaxy of Stars (1957) – 12” Vinyl Reissue
Available at Bennies Fifties and the online Fifties Store

In 1957, the March of Dimes Galaxy of Stars promotional acetate was issued exclusively for radio stations participating in the national polio campaign. The original 16" disc — now extraordinarily rare — featured musical contributions from several major stars of the era, including Elvis Presley himself.
For the first time ever, this historic release returns as a 12" vinyl reissue, faithfully restored and available exclusively at Bennies Fifties.

Elvis & The March of Dimes – A Historic Collaboration

Beginning in 1956, Elvis Presley actively supported the March of Dimes in its mission to fight polio. His contributions included:

appearing in national ads and posters

visiting hospitalized children

donating toys and his time

meeting with March of Dimes youth

providing music for the 1957 Galaxy of Stars broadcast

This new edition brings back an important piece of Elvis history, including his rendition of “Love Me Tender” as originally presented for charity nearly seven decades ago.
