b"Today we discover the iconic jamming session that birthed \\u2018The Million Dollar Quartet\\u2019 - Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl \\u2018Blue Suede Shoes\\u2019 Perkins - who spent the day making music together at Sun Studios, Memphis on 4th December, 1956.\\nAlthough the event began as an impromptu get-together, Sun\\u2019s Sam Phillips was quick to call a press photographer to document the troupe, which also included Elvis\\u2019s then-girlfriend, Marilyn Evans. Luckily, a savvy recording engineer also switched on the mics.\\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider why this rock n\\u2019 roll quartet quickly reverted to gospel, bluegrass, blues, and country; unpick Johnny Cash\\u2019s claim that he can\\u2019t be heard on-mic because he was matching Presley\\u2019s higher register; and marvel at Elvis\\u2019s impression of Jackie Wilson\\u2026\\nFurther Reading:\\n\\u2022 \\u2018Million Dollar Quartet - Dec. 4 1956\\u2019 (Sun Records, 2008): https://sunrecords.com/million-dollar-quartet-dec-4-1956/\\n\\u2022 \\u2018Johnny Cash Elvis Presley: The story behind their epic recording session\\u2019 (Daily Express, 2021): https://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1424775/Johnny-Cash-Elvis-Presley-story-behind-recording-session-the-million-dollar-quartet-evg\\n\\u2022 \\u2018The Million Dollar Quartet\\u2019 (Sun Records, 1956): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOorJPVc6_M\\nThis episode first premiered in 2022, for members of \\U0001f334CLUB RETROSPECTORS\\U0001f334 - where you can also DITCH THE ADS and get weekly bonus bits, unlock over 70 bits of extra content and support our independent podcast.
