On Jan.2nd Sam Phillips opened The Memphis Recording Service at 706 Union Ave. Memphis TN. Although Memphis was a breeding ground for recording talent particularly in Blues Music, there was no other recording studio in town when Phillips opened his. This would prove Valuable.

The Beginning of Sun Music

He had already recorded artist that he would lease to other labels like Chess and RPM. Phillips recorded early sides of BB King, Howlin Wolf and James Cotton as well as what is considered by many as the first Rock and Roll recording Jackie Brenston’s “Rocket 88” on which Ike Turner played on. He was able to produce Blues in a raw feel more so than the bigger urban Studios. He briefly tried to start his own label but it failed after one release in 1950.

Then he tried again this time with the Sun label. The first release with “Drive Slow” by Johnny London in 1953. He continued to be successful recording the Electric Blues sound Little Milton and Junior Parker. He recorded electric guitars and harmonica at high levels which gave them enormous presence.
