Once Upon a Time in America
The "Million Dollar Quartet" of Sun Records: Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash
The age of Frank Sinatra, Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey was over. Regular people had radios and record players. Regular people liked and sang and listened to country music, which had a story to tell, and gospel music, filled with energy. And young people liked to dance. Fast. But what on God's Green Earth would country/gospel/dance music possibly sound like? Popular music would sound more like Country, Country music would sound more like popular music. Rockabilly? Rock & Roll? Something like that.
