Typical Jerry Lee, best rock and roller ever!

"Sun" actually changed the text, jerry's original text was: "There will be a wedding at the end of road"

[captainstevo232]

1956

Sun studio

Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis & Johnny Cash

jam session called, "Million Dollar Quartet"

Cash looks more like Scotty More in photo, but it's probably Cash.

Check on Goggle and u will see real fast.

[BigWheelHawaii]

What Great Raw Talent,,,

[cptconfuser]

Top stuff from the killer as usual

[spacerpg]

I love this song.

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

I love this recording.

[jerryaltman]

Nice version, thanks for post.

[50sAllTheWay]

This is the Million Dollar Quartet version, even better than the original!

[eruptionista]

Thanks, themanisme34 - that's funny. I can see Elvis - stunned!

[themanisme34]

does no one realize elvis is watch him play piano for the very first time along with carl perkins, and johnny cash just left the session around a hour before? This is historic, I would love to see elvis's face, who was oringinaly at the piano before,

[bossdoggy]

Cash actually claims he was at sun before perkins even got there and he was the last person to leave too. In Cash's biography he claims that no one wanted to follow Jerry Lee Lewis not even elvis. This song is actually one of the last songs on the album a bit of a testament to that claim.

[boogiewoogiepiano1]

So the story that Cash was dragged away to do some christmas shopping is a myth? He sure wasn't on the recordings...

[boogiewoogiepiano1]

Jerry Lee was there, playing piano on a Perkins session. He earned some 20 dollars for it... incredible...

[bossdoggy]

Yeah i dont know if cash was really at sun or not cause you dont hear him on the record at all. Although at the end as elvis is saying his goodbyes he says goodbye to "johnny" although that could be another johnny.

[gduwen]

If you listen "On the jericho road" Elvis names him while they're singing "On The Jericho road" he says, "Take on with Johnny Cash on this"

[CherryTripping]

o.O

[bossdoggy]

Yeah he does but it sounds like theyre talking like hes not there. The same way they were talking about chuck berry and pat boone.

[yelserpsivle]

Yes, after meeting Jerry, Elvis said that if he could play the piano like him he would quit singing!

[jadorejacques]

Fantastic!

[PaulAntonPhilipp]

Great stuff..

[ravingeddie]

jools holland covers with this Tom jones, a bit quicker, and a bit more modern, but very good indeed, never heard orig till today

[58Crash]

Jools is good, not to say excellent, but a bit more modern?

He is playing boogie-woogie, but without the rockin' sensation that redefined bw and is one the trademarks of Jerry. Listen to Crazy Arms with Jools and Tom Jones, and you will spot the difference between the styles instantaneously.

[NayLeland]

Good stuff..

[LarryGeeLewis]

Yup; supposed to be an original Lewis composition. In reality, it was an Irving Berlin rip-off. 'Waiting At The End Of The Road' was written in 1929.

[LarryGeeLewis]

Why thumb down!?

[redfoley]

Who needs a drummer and guitarist??

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

@redfoley Jerry's band had both

[Vejerian]

Magic, Jerry Lee Lewis 100%. The Best
