On Dec. 4, 1956, Marilyn Evans entered--and exited--rock 'n' roll history. That was the day Elvis Presley stopped by Memphis' Sun Studio and recorded an impromptu session with Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. Historians have long believed Evans was there too because she was dating Presley then and a voice assumed to be hers appears on the recording. 'That lovely creature sitting on top of the piano', the caption for the photo read in the next day's newspaper, is 'Marilyn Evans, ...| www.elvis.com.au

Johnny Cash talks about Elvis Presley.I remember Elvis' show at the Eagle's Nest as if were yesterday. The date was a blunder, because the place was an adult club where teenagers weren't welcome, and so Vivian and I were two of only a dozen or so patrons, fifteen at the most. Elvis was already making noise in Memphis when I got there in '54. Sam Phillips had released his first single, That's All Right, Mama and it was tearing up the airwaves. | Elvis Presley| www.elvis.com.au
Sam Phillips had been thinking more and more that the key lay in the connection between the races, in what they had in common far more than what kept them apart.

On March 28th, 1998, Scotty and D.J. Fontana performed at an Elvis convention here in Europe. That same evening, I interviewed them both in Scotty's hotelroom. Actually, it wasn't easy to find good questions, as Scotty's That's All Right Elvis and Peter Guralnick's Last Train To Memphis describe the early years in wonderful detail. Nevertheless, the interviews were quite interesting in many ways. Especially Scotty is very straightforward and outspoken, and his viewpoints shed a new light on v...| www.elvis.com.au

In 1954, when Elvis Presley was starting to make inroads in the Mid-South region as an up and coming act to be reckoned with, he and his band, which then included the legendary Scotty Moore on lead guitar, Bill Black on bass and Elvis doing the vocals and playing rhythm acoustic guitar, were knocking out audienc...| www.elvis.com.au
