Million Dollar Quartet

The dream quartet of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and
Jerry Lee 
Lewis met up for the jamming session to end all jamming
sessions one Memphis 
night in December 1956, brought together at Sun
Records by Sam Phillips, the 
man who discovered them.

Unknown to him, departures are imminent – and 
that’s about it as
far as plot goes in this lively jukebox compilation of 
over 20 songs
which went rocketing up the charts over 50 years ago.


The rock’n’roll staples easily stand the test of time, but it’s Ben

Goddard’s cocky Jerry Lee (Phillips’ latest signing) who completely
steals 
the show.

A restless ball of energy, he hits the keys with dazzling
panache,
only staying still long enough to savour a sultry rendition of
Fever
 courtesy of Elvis’s latest squeeze.
