Or was it the product of Sam Phillips’ imagination and Presley’s stage presence? featuring Bill Haley Carl Perkins Chubby Checker Chuck Berry Cliff Richard Conway Twilty Elvis Presley Gene Vincent Jack Good Jerry Lee Lewis Little Richard Lonnie Donegan Pat Boone Sam Phillips Terry Dene Tommy Steele
