The "Million Dollar Quartet" session, as it came to be known, took place at Sun Studio in Memphis on Dec. 4, 1956. The photograph of the icons — Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins — was thankfully preserved for fans to enjoy decades later, as seen at the top of this article.
The epic recording was first released in Europe in 1981 as The Million Dollar Quartet, with 17 tracks. More tracks were later discovered and released as The Complete Million Dollar Session. In 1990, the recordings were released in the U.S. as Elvis Presley: The Million Dollar Quartet, with the foursome's legacy able to truly live on from there.
Then came the stage musical adaptation, which was only a matter of time. With a book by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott, Million Dollar Quartet dramatizes the session and first premiered at Florida's Seaside Music Theatre. It was then staged at Village Theatre in Issaquah, Washington, in 2007 — and would break box office records. The Broadway production then opened at the Nederlander Theatre on April 11, 2010.
Another Presley milestone happened this week, on the topic of "the King." His '68 Comeback Special just turned 57, and the televised event was historic for its ability to resurrect his career — but the hidden drama and secrets behind it are even more interesting. Find out more here.
