Just found on http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/rockabilly-man/Content?oid=3904892.

A known pic, but never saw it in such a great quality. And now we know where and with whom it was taken.



Jim Cannon (left), Jean Jennings (middle left), Johnny Black’s wife Carolyn (middle right) and Elvis (right) mingle at a party at Cannon’s mother’s house on Colby Street. Photo: Courtesy Cannon Family:

It appears in A Boy From Tupelo, IIRC. I posted an uncropped version and jonburrows added details here:

Thanks for the uncropped one. Seen it before though. I like the fact that the version of the photo in the OP was posted by the grandson of Jim himself and that the girls in the middle are much clearer. There might be a reason that the girl in front of Jim was cropped off. A jealous wife perhaps :wink:
Have you read the article/interview via my link? Insightful, though I don't believe Elvis sang That's All Right in 1951 already. And I enjoyed reading BB King joined the guys one time...
