The Million Dollar Quartet was a historic jam session that took place in 1956 at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. It featured four music legends: Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash, all of whom gathered to just sing a few songs together. It was a moment that would forever change the course of music history.
Years later, in 2006, the Gaither Music Group released an album titled "Gospel Favorites" which paid tribute to this legendary jam session. The album explores the gospel side of the Million Dollar Quartet, featuring classic hymns and gospel standards performed by the four greats.
The album opens with a powerful rendition of "Just a Little Talk With Jesus" performed by Elvis Presley. It's followed by an energetic version of "I Shall Not Be Moved" performed by Jerry Lee Lewis before Carl Perkins takes the lead with "Peace in the Valley."
Johnny Cash closes out the album with a stunning version of "My God Is Real." Throughout the album, the four legends showcase their distinct styles and incredible talents, each adding their own unique touch to the gospel classics.
The "Gospel Favorites" album by the Gaither Music Group is a must-have for any fan of gospel music or the Million Dollar Quartet. It commemorates a moment in time when four of the greatest musicians of all time came together to create something magical.
