Folks in the 1950s called rock 'n' roll "the devil's music;" pretty sure god didn't take the leading role in its development.

The most nervous I was at piano lessons was when my teacher’s sister and her husband Sam Phillips were there. Miss Earline’s car broke down In Memphis after Christmas with Elvis and he tossed her the keys to a blue caddie. She told him she’d bring it back when she got a new car Elvis said no you keep it as long as you need it. As a reward for graduating a level was to sit in Elvis’ car. She kept the car till she passed in the 90s. Sam’s son Jerry still lives here and runs the radio station Sam started. He got the car and took it back to Memphis. The next time I saw it was in 2017 at my cousins wedding. The bride rode up in it. I walked over to Sam’s grandson and whispered “is that Miss Earline’s car?” He smiled and said yes he was surprised I recognized it. We went off in private and reminisced. The one thing he ask was to not tell anyone it was Elvis’ car. That was not a problem as I didn’t want the car to outshine the bride. I got to sit in it again and get lots of photos. Later at a family gathering I ask the bride what it was like to arrive at her wedding in Elvis’ car, she immediately grabbed my cousin. You didn’t tell me whose car that was! We still get a great laugh about that. My Aunts about rung my neck for not telling them till we had left the wedding. Seeing Sam here brought back memories of meeting him and my piano teacher.

I didn’t know they did almost a Reunion of the Million Dollar Quartet with the Legendary Roy Orbison in place of the Legendary Elvis Presley. It appears he was gone by that time. Now I have to find if there’s a recording of this session. This is real music by real talented musicians who learned their craft over a lifetime. Not like the current crop of no talents who are mediocre at best and who cannot release anything until it is corrected digitally. No one today can sing even half as good as these original recording stars. I’ll take Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison over anybody. Even Elvis, who I still admire, after playing a show following Roy Orbison, said to his manager “Never put me on another bill with Roy Orbison”. He knew that even he, with his great voice, would suffer by comparison. The man had a voice like an Opera singer!

Roy Obison is there because of who he became later, he is easily the least successful Sun recording star, having notched up just 1 top 50 record, this allowed him to tour and he was fairly popular on the touring circuit back in 56, the next few singles failed to make any type of impact and he left Sun records, returning in 1960 as a Ballard/ pop singer and became massively successful with more than a dozen huge chart hits in the first half of the 60s. The most successful was Jerry, he provided Sun Studios with 4 billboard top 10 hits, followed by Perkins who gave sun its first million seller, a success he could never come even close to again, a few singles scraped into the top 100. Next was Elvis who had a few big selling regional hits, went onto be world famous with RCA, this then allowed sun to cash in on his new found fame

But none of them was Good a Great as Elvis Presley or had his charisma or looks or personality. Elvis presley was the very man who changed music a gave it a style of his own emotional feelings a charm Elvis Presley was something else.

Did you ever see one time elvis doing solo or intro with his guitar? He only played by chords. And when tempo began very bright he stopped to play guitar to moove his body and you can hear the riff and solo all the technical part of the song (played by his 2reals guitarists scotty moore and james burton...) Elvis only a great singer

Rockabilly and Rock and Roll do not mean the same thing, although back in the 50s, they used a lot of terms (rock and roll, rockabilly, rhythm and blues, rock, etc.) with overlapping meanings. Rockabilly is the country end of the rock and roll spectrum, typically, but not always, with slapped acoustic bass, simple drums, short twangy guitar solos, and a 2 beat rhythm rather than 4 beats. Bill Flagg (the first person to use the term "rockabilly", around 1953) later called it "one half rock and roll, and one half bluegrass". Rock and roll has been used to describe everything from the Sun sessions to Motörhead and AC/DC. Rockabilly is a small and quite specific part of rock and roll, and not to everyone's taste, but historically important. The word has been used for 67 years, so it's a bit late to reject it. :)
