PhotoSynthesis: Elvis With His 'Million Dollar Quartet'

Previous | Next


December 1956: It was a Carl Perkins recording session at Sun Records. Elvis stopped by to see what's happening -- this was a year after he left Sun for RCA. Jerry Lee Lewis was always hanging around the studio -- he hadn't quite made it yet. So the three of them started goofing around, and [Sun Studio owner] Sam Phillips was smart enough to leave the tape running. After awhile, Sam realized the was an amazing occurrence, so he calls Johnny Cash and says, "Get over here quick!" So Cash comes over, and Sam calls the Memphis Press-Scimitar [newspaper] to send a reporter over right away, and they sent one with a photographer, fortunately.

You hurt and humiliated your ex-husband very much with the high publicity spousal abuse charges details after you divorced him. He'd already suffered enough with his name dragged through mud with that Bonnie Lee Bakley saga and the shooting of Dag Drollet. Then you went on TV planning his funeral, being so nice to him, part of his "family". You keep using the Brando name even though you divorced him. I think you are crazy.

I was lead to this site through an aol page showing whom, I beleive is my sister, Lisa Marie eating at a local restarant. I was very upset by the photo. It struck me as cruel.I have had my share of bad stuff in the press. My ex husband died last month. His death was reported all over the world. Cruel things were said about me.Why does the media have to be so cruel and cater to the unevolved. Give them more credit.How would you want the microscopic eye of the chosen unevlolved to put your family members face all over the word eating a meal???? Please stop the madness. No one like to be hurt. Deborah Presley-Brando

Elvis's music was listened to in my family. My brother use to listen to his music and still sings his music to this day. My brother became a professional entertainer and still sings his music. He sounds just like elvis. His best movies was King Creole, Blue Hawaii, GI Blues and Follow that Dream. We all love too hear elvis's music even to this day. He will always be # 1 with us.
