THE ELECTRIFYING TRUE STORY behind the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical…

n a Tuesday night shortly before Christmas 1956, Carl Perkins—in a bit of post-“Blue Suede Shoes” funk—booked a recording session with producer Sam Phillips on December 4th. Perkins and his band, along with Jerry Lee Lewis, laid down some songs, including what would become one of the best-known Perkins songs, “Matchbox.” While it was only a minor hit when Perkins recorded it, in 1964 the Bea-

lips rolled tape. They also played a number of country classics, particularly a handful of songs by Bill Monroe, whose “Blue Moon of Kentucky” had already appeared on the B-side of Presley’s first single in 1954. The band also tackled some hits of the day, like Chuck Berry’s “Brown Eyed Handsome Man” and Pat Boone’s “Don’t Forbid Me.” It was a reunion for Cash, Perkins and Presley, who had toured the South together in 1955. Lewis was still a star on the rise, but he quickly bonded with Presley over their shared knowledge of spirituals. The presence of Cash is still debated by rock writers and historians; some say he came only for a short time and quickly left. This seems to be confirmed on the session recordings, in which you can’t hear Cash at all. For his part, however, Cash claimed in his autobiography that he was actually the first one there, and attributes his apparent absence on the recordings to the fact that he was singing in a higher register than usual in order to mesh better with Presley. Regardless of Cash’s whereabouts, the recordings of the session—later released in a series of albums beginning in 1981— show all of the men, particularly Presley, at ease with the music and just having a good time jamming. The Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet brings audiences inside this famed recording session featuring timeless hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Fever,” “That’s All Right,” “Sixteen Tons,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “I Walk The Line,” “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” “Who Do You Love?,” “Matchbox,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Hound Dog” and more.

tles’ version of “Matchbox” would reach Billboard magazine’s Top 20. While many of the details of the rest of the day’s events are still in dispute, this much is known: Perkins and Lewis were later joined by Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, and they held an impromptu jam session. A newspaper man who was there wrote, “This quartet could sell a million.” Soon they were dubbed the Million Dollar Quartet. This was the only performance together of these four legends-to-be, but it was a cultural flashpoint that captured the birth of rock ‘n’ roll and has become known as one of the greatest rock jam sessions of all time. The men played hymns like “Blessed Je- Million Dollar Quartet is at the Fisher Theatre March 6-8. sus (Hold My Hand),” “Peace in the Valley” Tickets ($35-$75) are on sale now; please see our ad on and “Down by the Riverside” while Phil- page 16. 4

AMAZING BIPOLAR DISCOVERIES

See how far we’ve come. The first signs of a bipolar episode are usually apparent in voice. We are developing and testing the smartphone app “PRIORI” to predict episodes based on the acoustics in the voice.

Our focus on the individual emphasizes nutrition, physical health and social relationships in considering patterns of bipolar disorder.

Our induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) program has created the first nerve cell model of bipolar using cells derived from patients.

We are tracking health and illness patterns in over 1,000 participants to determine the driving biological, clinical, and environmental elements of bipolar disorder over the lifetime.
