"This was conceived as sort of a reunion of the "Million Dollar Quartet", with Roy Orbison taking the place of the late Elvis Presley. The results are decent, but each man has done much better work than what is featured here. Each singer gets two solo songs, with the exception of "The Big O", and there are three songs featuring all four legends taking turns singing lead. Like I said, it is a decent album, but nothing exceptional. Nonetheless, fans of these legends may want to get it. Here is a list of who sings what:1. Birth of Rock and Roll (Perkins)
2. Sixteen Candles (Lewis)
3. Class of '55 (Perkins)
4. Waymore's Blues (all)
5. We Remember the King (Cash)
6. Coming Home (Orbison)
7. Rock and Roll (all)
8. Keep My Motor Running (Lewis)
9. I Will Rock and Roll With You (Cash)
10. Big Train (all)One final remark: Who would have guessed that Jerry Lee Lewis would be the last one of these guys alive?"
