Elvis Presley ..... is Johnny Cash
Elvis is Johnny Cash, for a young teenage girl in 1957 he was. She came down the aisle and stopped next to Elvis, her eyes wide with disbelief. 'Johnny Cash!' she said in an excited whisper.

On this CD you can hear the progress from the very first take through the master take.
