abqtommy's JournalOn 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!
