Elvis Presley and his girlfriend Dianne just happened to stop by. The man behind all this was the famous music producer Sam Phillips who is credited with having discovered all four. They were at different stages of their career; Elvis was already a chart-topper, Lewis was a rising star, Cash was a newcomer and Perkins was also beginning his rise in Rock and Roll.What happened next is stuff of Rock legend as soon they found themselves turning into a Rock ‘n’ Roll Band and having an impromptu jam session.
