Sam Phillips: The Record Producer Who Shaped a Generation

[@HistoryandNostalgiaChannel]

Sam Phillips Life Story (1923 - 2003) Sam Phillips Sun Records Sam Phillips was not just one of the most important producers in rock history. There's a good argument to be made that he was also one of the most important figures in 20th century American culture. As owner of Sun Records and frequent producer of discs at his Sun Studios he was vital to launching the careers of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Rufus Thomas, and numerous other significant artists. Although he first made his mark (and a very deep one) with electric blues by Black performers, he will be most remembered for his rockabilly stars, particularly Elvis Presley. Exposed to blues, spirituals, and hillbilly music while growing up in Depression-era Alabama, Phillips worked as a radio announcer and engineer throughout the '40s. The experience would prove valuable when he decided to start a recording studio, which opened as the Memphis Recording Service in January, 1950. Although Memphis had already been a notable breeder of recording talent, particularly in the blues field (especially for jug bands), there was, hard as it may be to believe, no other studio in town when Phillips opened for business. That on its own ensured that much of the area's regional talent would be eager to try things out for him. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Read more about the life of Sam Phillips here: geni.us/SamPhillipsBiography ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💥 History and Nostalgia Channel: (20th Century History Documentaries)💥 Welcome to the Remember This KZbin History and Nostalgia Channel where we discuss thought provoking subject matter from recent the recent past to modern day... get ready for 20th Century History Documentaries content on all things from conspiracy theories to real events and how they shaped our lives.

I think "Feelin' Good" by Little Junior's Blue Flames (SUN 187) is the finest, though I can only listen to it now on Vinyl LP or CD as my broken 78 has become a wall display!
