Elvis Presley ..... is Johnny Cash
She came down the aisle and stopped next to Elvis, her eyes wide with disbelief.
'Johnny Cash!' she said in an excited whisper. We started laughing, but Elvis quickly hushed us and started talking to the girl. She told him how much she loved his - Johnny Cash's - records, and how she'd been to one of his - Cash's - shows. Finally, she asked. 'Johnny, would you sing me one of your songs?'
Elvis would never sing one of his own songs in that type of situation, but for this little Johnny Cash fan he dropped his voice to its lowest notes and started singing a few lines of 'Hey Porter', a song Cash had cut at Sun that seemed especially appropriate for a midnight train ride. The girl was thrilled, and even ended up with an autograph from Elvis, which read: 'Best Wishes, Johnny Cash'.
From the book: Elvis: My Best Man: My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley by George Klein.

Review : Elvis Country FTD Special Edition 2 CD Set
* 48 Hours To Memphis is actually not stereo but it has been mixed from a two track tape and very high quality 'hi-fi' and not only is it not a soundboard it compares perfectly with normal stereo releases.
Video Preview: Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD
Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD. Digipack with a 16 page booklet. Never before have we seen an Elvis concert from the 50's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered Unreleased Film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don’t Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. This is an excellent release no fan should be without it. The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people.
