Million Dollar Quartet at the Apollo Theater Brings Alive an Infamous Night in the History of Rock n Roll! December 22, 2011 On December 4, 1956, the world brought together four legends – Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins & Johnny Lee Lewis - in a small storefront studio called Sun Records in Memphis. For this one night, the quartet reminisced and recorded an impromptu music session with the one who discovered them all, Sam Philips – the “Father of Rock-n-Roll” and owner of Sun Records.
