Before Elvis walked through the door, before Sun Studios put Memphis on
the map -- Sam Phillips, a young man with a tape recorder, lived by the
motto, "We Record Anything, Anywhere, Anytime."
Weddings, funerals, marching bands, the Miss Memphis Pageant--Sam
recorded them all--anything to keep his fledgling Memphis Recording
Service open to record Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Little Junior, Ike
Turner, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley.the raw and rocking,
unrecorded music of the 1950s South.
With this very special segment, we feature Ike Turner, Peter Guralnick and others along
with Sam's never-before-broadcast remote recordings.
You need the free RealAudio player to listen to audio files.
