You have to go see this!
It is the story of a day in 1956 at Sun Records. Sam Phillips had just signed Jerry Lee Lewis and he was playing piano for Carl Perkins at a recording session when Elvis and Johnny Cash come in for a visit. It is quite an interesting story and there is a lot of FABULOUS rock 'n' roll. I never really liked Jerry Lee Lewis, but after this, I really admire his piano playing. The songs the guys sing take you back to your childhood and you can't help but dance in your seat!
This was the last time these guys were ever all together in the same place playing music. Shortly after this, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins signed with Columbia records and a year earlier, Sam Phillips had sold Elvis' contract to RCA to save his company from going under. He had just signed Roy Orbison too. RCA tried to get Sam to come to work for them and work with Elvis again, but he wanted to keep his business and work with the guys he signed.
This is the real picture from that day.
It is really in black and white, but I liked the color!
Don't miss this, it is so wonderful!
