It was a hot July day in 1953 when truck driver Elvis Presley
walked into Sun Studio at 706 Union Avenue, Memphis to record two songs for
his mother Gladys. The charts were filled with sugary pop singers but Elvis
loved the raw excitement of black music or race music as it was then known.
When studio owner Sam Phillips heard him sing he knew he had found the voice
and image that he was looking for. Sam brought in guitarist Scotty Moore,
bassist Bill Black and later DJ Fontana to back Elvis and together they created
a sound that would change the world of music forever.
