#OnThisDay in National Historic Landmarks history, December 4, 1956: The Million Dollar Quartet convenes at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee! This modest storefront recording studio played an outsized role in rock-and-roll history. Of the many historic moments that occurred there, none is more famous than the impromptu jam session by four young rock-and-roll giants that took place on this day in 1956—a session enshrined in rock-and-roll legend as the one-and-only gathering of the Million Dollar Quartet. This impromptu jam session included Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Elvis Presley. Fans would not actually get the chance to hear the recording made on this day in 1956 until 1981, when the first portions of the lost tapes were discovered and released.
