Celebrate Christmas with the “Man In Black” and some of the biggest stars of the
’70s!
Johnny Cash’s second Christmas special includes an all-star tribute to Elvis Presley, who died in August 1977, two months before this program was taped for CBS television. Fellow rockabilly
pioneers Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison join Cash on “This Train Is Bound For Glory” in memory of Presley, whose affinity for such sacred music was well-known.
The 1977 special also includes holiday guest performances as Johnny takes the stage with Roy Clark for a spirited rendition of “Frosty The Snow Man” as well as the Statler Brothers with the
yuletide classic “Blue Christmas.” The show originally aired November 30, 1977, and features these performances:
