Million Dollar Quartet

The Million Dollar Quartet refers to a legendary impromptu jam session that took place on December 4, 1956, at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. This session brought together four iconic figures in the history of rock and roll: Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. The name 'Million Dollar Quartet' was coined later to describe this gathering of talent. During this session, the artists played and sang together, creating a mix of gospel, country, and rock 'n' roll music. Although it was an informal gathering, the session was recorded and eventually released decades later, giving fans a glimpse into a historic moment in music history.
