This episode we take a look at four very recognizable figures that all have important ties to 1955. We&#39;ll explore the pop culture, and real history of a prominent figure from American folk lore, a brief overview of a much loved character, the surprising origins and sparkling friendship of the King of Rock n Roll, and finally the rocky beginnings of the &quot;Happiest Place on Earth&quot;!
