The last man is gone, R.I.P. Killer.
3:06, the look of Tom, the news guy's face after the clip. Seems happy to see legends he grew up listening to as a boy together. You can tell it was an awesome story for him to report.
we will never ever see this again. Beautiful wonderful music as god planned it. playing with disciples all together ! Praise the lord for this !!!!!
Folks in the 1950s called rock 'n' roll "the devil's music;" pretty sure god didn't take the leading role in its development.
The most nervous I was at piano lessons was when my teacher’s sister and her husband Sam Phillips were there. Miss Earline’s car broke down In Memphis after Christmas with Elvis and he tossed her the keys to a blue caddie. She told him she’d bring it back when she got a new car Elvis said no you keep it as long as you need it. As a reward for graduating a level was to sit in Elvis’ car. She kept the car till she passed in the 90s. Sam’s son Jerry still lives here and runs the radio station Sam started. He got the car and took it back to Memphis. The next time I saw it was in 2017 at my cousins wedding. The bride rode up in it. I walked over to Sam’s grandson and whispered “is that Miss Earline’s car?” He smiled and said yes he was surprised I recognized it. We went off in private and reminisced. The one thing he ask was to not tell anyone it was Elvis’ car. That was not a problem as I didn’t want the car to outshine the bride. I got to sit in it again and get lots of photos. Later at a family gathering I ask the bride what it was like to arrive at her wedding in Elvis’ car, she immediately grabbed my cousin. You didn’t tell me whose car that was! We still get a great laugh about that. My Aunts about rung my neck for not telling them till we had left the wedding.
Seeing Sam here brought back memories of meeting him and my piano teacher.
1:02 is Marty Stuart at left of Sam Phillips. Marty was then married to Cash's daughter,and in Cash's band,and played Guitar on this Reunion Record-"Class of 55".

Que preciosodade!!!
Maravilhosos
All class act sun records brilliant . Great music
Priceless !
Greatest share on RUclips
I didn’t know they did almost a Reunion of the Million Dollar Quartet with the Legendary Roy Orbison in place of the Legendary Elvis Presley. It appears he was gone by that time. Now I have to find if there’s a recording of this session.
This is real music by real talented musicians who learned their craft over a lifetime.
Not like the current crop of no talents who are mediocre at best and who cannot release anything until it is corrected digitally.
No one today can sing even half as good as these original recording stars.
I’ll take Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison over anybody.
Even Elvis, who I still admire, after playing a show following Roy Orbison, said to his manager “Never put me on another bill with Roy Orbison”.
He knew that even he, with his great voice, would suffer by comparison. The man had a voice like an Opera singer!
There is an album called class of 55 although by now you will prob know that!
Always great to hear roy Orbison talking about Elvis they certainly respected each other’s talents 👍👍👍🇬🇧
Johnny Cash was not in the million dollar Quartet recordings he was only at the photo session
I always thought that Dennis Quaid over Jerry's outrageous performance on the movie.....after watching that little bit where jerry stands up...Dennis did just fine!!
He sucked
I wish Elvis was there
I wish I was there!...greatness!
Jerry Lee Lewis was, and that's what was important
1:08 this version of I Walk the Line is probably the best I've heard. I need to know which one it is...
I wish The King was there too...
he is JERRY LEE LEWIS he is the King
martin wyatt Jerry is no King. Elvis is the one and only
not the same without Elvis
Jerry Lee is more than a "King".
The Killer is a force of nature.
Pompadour Wrong, son....
Looks like Roy, Carl, and Johnny couldn't keep up w/The Killer here
The killer was on another level his entire career.
It's amazing that Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive I believe he was the wildest one of all of them
@@JoLeeR25 dont underestimate johnny, he lived a high speed life too
@@gerben8583 but he is gone now too
hello from Hollywood
Joe
You posting this of course brings to mind the trainwreck segment of a drunken Phillips on LNwDL (not long from this time, 1986?)
Yeah -- May 15, 1986. Someone uploaded it four years ago.

I'll put up what I think is better video quality "soon." :)
Roy Obison is there because of who he became later, he is easily the least successful Sun recording star, having notched up just 1 top 50 record, this allowed him to tour and he was fairly popular on the touring circuit back in 56, the next few singles failed to make any type of impact and he left Sun records, returning in 1960 as a Ballard/ pop singer and became massively successful with more than a dozen huge chart hits in the first half of the 60s.
The most successful was Jerry, he provided Sun Studios with 4 billboard top 10 hits, followed by Perkins who gave sun its first million seller, a success he could never come even close to again, a few singles scraped into the top 100.
Next was Elvis who had a few big selling regional hits, went onto be world famous with RCA, this then allowed sun to cash in on his new found fame
Roy is my favorite
jerrt still around all others under ground
At 1:02, Marty Stuart with Sun Records King-Sam Phillips.
It’s all based in country music
Who's seen the play? Do not miss it!!

What is the name of the album that they were working on together as of the of airing of this video like the guy said that was talking?
Class of 55'
The album these 4 recorded was "Class of 55". It is available via Amazon and you can also get it on Spotify. Carl, Johnny and Jerry Lee also did a live album together called The Survivors Live recorded in 1981 which is excellent, and also still widely available online.
Wouldn’t have been blue suede shoes without Johnny cash
Nice hair
But none of them was Good a Great as Elvis Presley or had his charisma or looks or personality. Elvis presley was the very man who changed music a gave it a style of his own emotional feelings a charm Elvis Presley was something else.
Did you ever see one time elvis doing solo or intro with his guitar?
He only played by chords.
And when tempo began very bright he stopped to play guitar to moove his body and you can hear the riff and solo all the technical part of the song (played by his 2reals guitarists scotty moore and james burton...)
Elvis only a great singer
Elvis said Roy Orbison could out sing him
@@JoLeeR25 Elvis always said that about a lot of singer's, he was just being humble. They didn't call him the king for nothing. He had it all.
@@terrymeddings5563 actually they were friends they had been friends up until the the day Elvis died. They both started at Sun Records with Jerry Lee Lewis Carl Perkins Elvis Roy and Johnny Cash who lived next door to Roy Orbison in Hendersonville Tennessee. And was the Godparent to all three of his sons
What was Carl thinking with that rug?!?!
😅😅😂😂
Only one is the king of rock'n'roll and this is Elvis Presley, without Elvis no rock n roll
not true Roy Orbison was equal if not better than Elvis
You could put Buddy Holly in their too.
Said no one ever
@@benjones1715 I believe it is a personal choice . Not going to argue over it . I love Roy and Roy was a good friend of Elvis . Elvis would have been better off if he had hung around Roy instead of the Memphis Mafia . Could even still be alive . I mean Jerry Lee just died , They all started around the same time .
Rock-a-What?
Look it up. Well-known term.
Never was a fan of the term "Rockabilly". Its Rock n Roll and it's simple as that. Well Jerry lee and Elvis were RnR but Johnny was country
You don’t know shit
Rockabilly and Rock and Roll do not mean the same thing, although back in the 50s, they used a lot of terms (rock and roll, rockabilly, rhythm and blues, rock, etc.) with overlapping meanings. Rockabilly is the country end of the rock and roll spectrum, typically, but not always, with slapped acoustic bass, simple drums, short twangy guitar solos, and a 2 beat rhythm rather than 4 beats. Bill Flagg (the first person to use the term "rockabilly", around 1953) later called it "one half rock and roll, and one half bluegrass". Rock and roll has been used to describe everything from the Sun sessions to Motörhead and AC/DC. Rockabilly is a small and quite specific part of rock and roll, and not to everyone's taste, but historically important. The word has been used for 67 years, so it's a bit late to reject it. :)
LO MEJOR DE LA MUSICA REUNIDOS AHÍ. SOLO FALTÓ SU MAJESTAD EL REY ELVIS PRESLEY.
