On December 4, 1956, four top musical performers met and recorded a jam session...

"During a Sun Records session, Carl Perkins was playing with Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash, when a 21-year-old Elvis Presley visited the studio and jammed extensively while audio tapes captured nearly four dozen tracks, including classics like Love Me Tender, Don’t Be Cruel, Tutti Frutti’ and a few Christmas songs, too. Presley also led the jam session in renditions of gospel numbers from his youth.

A reporter who was present dubbed the four men the Million Dollar Quartet, and the nearly-complete tapes from this legendary session were eventually released on CDs 31 years later."

There's a little more text, some photos and a link to a music video at the link. In 1956 I
was 7 years old but I knew about these guys back then. Oh yeah!

3. There are no words to describe the collective talent or even the individual talent.

Thanks for posting. I needed a break from current bull shit.

4. Thanks for this

I think that would be some good music. Santa might have to put that CD in my stocking.

5. Has it been 65 years already?

My sister was an Elvis fan, but I grew up in the Beatles / Stones era.
Loved The Killer because that's Rock & Roll and Carl Perkins had rock cred I wasn't aware of until years later. The Man In Black grew on me over the decades.

that was the age of sequins, twang, and the opry. i was not a fan. to me, cash was 'a boy named sue'.
