December 4, 1956 – Million Dollar Quartet

December 4, 1956 – Elvis drops into the Sun Studios in Memphis to visit Carl Perkins, then recording with a still-unknown Jerry Lee Lewis on piano. At some point during the afternoon, Johnny Cash, also on Sun, drops in, and the four begin an informal jam session that would later be known as the “Million Dollar Quartet” sessions (though there is some debate on how many, if any, tracks Cash himself is on). Largely covers of gospel, bluegrass, and a little R&B, the tapes finally see the light of day in the early Eighties. #ROCkabillyHop @ElvisPresley @jerryleelewis @sunrecords @JohnnyCash #CarlPerkins @MillionDQuartet #RocHop #OTD #RockNRoll
