Elvis Presley joins an impromptu jam session at Sun Records

On December 4, 1956, a historic moment in music history unfolded at Sun Records when Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, joined an impromptu jam session with fellow legends Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. This spontaneous gathering of iconic artists took place while Perkins and Lewis were in the studio recording. Despite the fact that Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records, no longer had the rights to release any new material from Presley, he recognized the significance of this session and ensured that it was captured on tape. The resulting recordings, which remained officially unreleased for twenty-five years, would later be dubbed the 'Million Dollar Quartet.' This session not only showcased the incredible talent of these musicians but also marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of rock and roll, highlighting the collaborative spirit that defined the genre. The 'Million Dollar Quartet' recordings have since become a cherished part of music history, illustrating the power of creativity and camaraderie among some of the greatest artists of the 20th century. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #ElvisPresley #MillionDollarQuartet #SunRecords #CarlPerkins #JohnnyCash
