Elvis Presley, "The Kiss", 1956

After his first attempt to kiss his girlfriend of the day, Barbara Gray, Elvis was mildly rebuked by her sticking out her tongue - as if to say no - you can't kiss me. Elvis' reaction was to stick out his own tongue and touch hers in jest, backstage, a half hour before appearing in front of 3,000 admirers. Mosque Theater, Richmond, Virginia, June 30, 1956.
