"Million Dollar Quartet" is a recording of an
impromptu jam session involving Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl
Perkins, and Johnny Cash made on December 4, 1956, at the Sun Record
Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. An article about the session was
published in the Memphis Press-Scimitar under the title "Million
Dollar Quartet". The recording was first released in Europe in 1981
as The Million Dollar Quartet with 17 tracks. A few years later more
tracks were discovered and released as The Complete Million Dollar
Session. In 1990, the recordings were released in the United States
as Elvis Presley - The Million Dollar Quartet. This session is
considered a seminal moment in rock and roll. (wikipedia
