His impromptu performance appeared to go down well with the crowd, who can be heard cheering and clapping along in a video taken at the event.

That’s All Right was originally written by American blues singer Arthur Crudup and recorded in 1946.

Presley later recorded his own version, which was released as his debut single in 1954.
