Nobody had the sound elvis had & nobody done gospel songs like he did. Elvis was & always wil be n my opinion rhe greatest singer of all time.

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

i took my wife and kids there in the 1980s . i already knew the history of it , before i walked in. the kids loved it also.

[@ronniebishop2496]

That picture the Million Dollar Quartet is actually Billions of Dollar now. They were there together and toured together before Elvis was sold. Incredible.

For someone who lives on the other side of the planet, I can not Thank you enough for these videos, Thank you from Australia.

Come to Memphis. Lots of great things to do. Lots of good eating.

His music & records entertained me back in the nifty 50s!! Been there done that after high school!! Viva Los vagis!!

This doc is your best work. No Fluff nor Filler.

[@jacoblara4820]

If I had a time machine I’d go back to the very moment Elvis stepped foot in sun studio

[@fortinrose1]

Can you go there inside and sing a song 🎵 🎶? How much is it if so . I would love to do that

[@sumbuddy63]

Nothing more magical than the relics and the stories of rock n roll history. Sun is the building where the egg was laid and hatched.

[@rjmbluesman]

I visited Sun Records a few years back. I felt like there were ghosts in the rooms. It was unbelievable. The tour guide was a young guy who wasn't even born until the 1980s. He did his homework and gave an excellent tour.

[@no1nestandsalone387]

I didn’t feel ghosts. Just the thought about who could have visited theplace…

[@samphillips9104]

Had the honor to meet and talk to Sam Phillips from sun records ....he was a down to earth nice person ..rest in power and thanks for the conversation we had back in the day will always cherish that talk we had and to meet Sam Phillips in person

[@johnbarbarich9489]

Was there in 95, it has changed a lot.....myself and my girl were the only people on the tour....it was amazing

[@brad1916]

I could watch this over and over again! Actually that may or may not have happened. As I have said before, I’m anything and everything on the Life of Elvis.. And it was Sam Phillips’ Secretary that recorded Elvis first record for I believe $3. I live in Central Texas, but this year I WILL make the drive there and take the tour.. even if it’s a go and come back quick trip!

[@jasonreese2088]

Awesome! I'm 49 and just now appreciating Elvis!

[@Topmotorcycles9079]

Can't imagine just being there where Elvis Presley sang played his 🎸 guitar

[@chrishutchinson2297]

What a cool bit of History. Can you imagine the chances that maybe they wouldn't call Elvis back and hear his wonderful voice. Makes me think how many others have tried and failed just because they didn't find the right person that thought they were good enough. You walked in the footsteps of Legends. Thank you Jordan

[@paulwilliams3882]

Went to Sun studios for my 50th birthday.The best day i ever had.You can just feel the atmosphere of the 1950s.Thankyou for posting this video.

[@Steger13]

Imagine going back in time and stop there to meet elvis before and after he recored his first song.

[@jayblair4344]

BEST TOUR EVER

[@EmraldoDaSilva]

I remember visiting Sun Studio and Graceland in 2015 from Sweden. So cool! And with the same tour guide, haha!

[@randombloke8802]

Visited Memphis,August 2019 from England. Loved Graceland and Sun studios, will watch this over and over .Thanks for the upload.

[@chrispowell6985]

This is one of the best tours I have ever taken! These tour guides make the history come alive!!!

[@dynjarren8355]

What a cool studio! And it’s a cultural landmark now!

[@dynjarren8355]

Dewey Philips was the first DJ to play That’s All Right Mama as a favor to Sam Phillips. It was so popular that he kept playing it over and over because people were calling in and asking to hear it again. It became a regional hit record. And Sam Phillips recorded black and white artists and this was when blacks were still being treated like second class citizens and segregation was still in effect. What a great and extensive Tour! Thanks for showing everything as I can’t travel and always wanted to see the Sun Studio. And Dewey Phillips was either naturally crazy or on Amphetamines and my moneys on Amphetamines. Nonetheless, he must be given credit for starting Elvis’s career off! And Sam Phillips discovered Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison and Ike Turner and Howlin Wolf. And Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins! Amazing! And Phillips sold Elvis’s contract to RCA for 35 Grand which is now like 350 Grand adjusted for inflation. The dollar was strong back then. You could buy a House and Car for 35 Grand and have money left over.

[@hammertime6066]

This was the BEST one yet ty so very very much 💓 ❤️ love all those guys AMAZING 👏

[@racheldelgado5646]

FABULOUS vlog !!!

[@Judyri]

Real history. Young B B KING, ELVIS PRESLEY , wow beautiful

[@traceyhellsten649]

The only one I'm interested in is Elvis , the best ever. 💕

[@carlfuggiasco7495]

Been there and with the same tour guide that was featured. He's great and makes it so real. Thanks for sharing your memory that echoes mine. Everyone that loves country or rock and roll and blues should go here once. You will never forget it and even better every time you pick up an old sun record to play you will hear that space all over again because you were there.

[@mrDCunningham]

Totally rockabilly and rock and roll history. The sacred ground. Great vlog👍🏻😎

[@reneemallicone4770]

This is where black and white singers and groups were brought together to make some of the best music ever recorded. There was no race at Sun Studios. Everyone was accepted. The best of the best recorded here from B.B. King to Elvis to Carl Perkins to Jerry Lee Lewis. I mean come on the Prisonaires would have never gotten the opportunity anywhere on the planet to record a record. Sun's was an exceptional group of people to give a band like this half a chance. Sam is what real men are made of! An exceptional man. Total Class. Absolutely Legendary!

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Sun is an amazing and must-see tour. To walk through, stand and be where Elvis Presley and other greats stood is an experience that will last a lifetime. It all started at Sun, and you will leave with memories that you will want to share.

[@jesusapolicarpio-delacruz3851]

At 77, George, I dream to be in these Historic Havens where Rock n Roll began!!! Much oblige for sharing selflessly!!!

[@1189paris]

There's something very magical at Sun Records. I'm glad that I visited that studio 20 years ago while I was in Memphis.

[@missrita1826]

My brother, his wife and I visited this place. As the tour guy was telling all about the sun studio he was telling us about the X's on the floor, low and behold my brother was standing on the very spot that Elvis stood.

[@tracymorrison2410]

That was beyond amazing! I am a huge Johnny Cash fan so seeing the actual studio where he recorded so many of those amazing songs was so cool. Thanks for this one!

[@ronniebishop2496]

Johnny did record his early stuff there but he moved to Columbia in Nashville soon and recorded there.

[@topsyturvyy4558]

You need not computers, fancy equipment to record history. Sun records is the proof of it!

[@aszul7750]

i mean, we are watching this because of computers

[@sarakeith5480]

All I can say is a big WOW!! So much talent and greatness under the same roof!! Thank you Jordan!!

[@shondra6]

I was born July 54. One of my favourites it’s elvis . As my grandmother was a fan. Now my 8 year old grandaughter now is also. . I own the most amazing portrait of him gifted to me by my family on my 60th birthday. And created by my very talented neice. Love this video as I am a huge fan of Sam an sun records. I love seeing the stories that came about from the studio. Some amazing artists. Thankyou for sharing . Cheers from Aussie.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@pamela8687]

Elvis bought a Pink Cadillac for his Mother just as a GIFT ❤

[@celestine811]

Wow what a fantastic vlog ! Thank you so much Jordan ! :-)

[@seegreen3268]

Can you just imagine leaning against the brick wall with those guys maybe smoking before going in to record. Cool

[@vanglover6030]

I think it's probably safe to say they were 'smokin' the whole time.

[@aai3661]

Elvis never actually existed. He was a character created by the CIA who's purpose was to stop the unchecked spread of homosexuality occuring within the music industry due to poorly filtered tap water.

Wow… The history of modern Rock. Thanks for this, I can almost smell the place, the history, the wooden floors, pinboard walls, and old valves. One day if I have a lotto win, or a hit record myself, I will have the funds to make the pilgrimage from London UK 🇬🇧😊 CHEERS

[@Eduardo-uo7qs]

Congratulations Jordan ! Elvis and The Sun Studio, what a beautiful rock'n roll history. From Rio, Brazil.

[@khichfy]

Elvis quando estourou no Brasil, por volta de 1957 deixou todos loucos e os músicos brasileiros inconformados com tamanho sucesso e idolatria quando muitos tentaram imitá-lo, como Roberto e Erasmo Carlos, Simonal, Renato Araújo, Jerry Adriani, etc e, mais tarde, com o incrível Raul Seixas. O pessoal da velha guarda reagiu ao Elvis criando a Bossa Nova que também fez muito sucesso.

[@gmoney101090]

So much great content brother! Your hitting everything with keeping the musician in mind! Thank you I feel like I was there!

[@susancooper389]

Love this video thanks always wanted to go to Memphis never got there yet

Was just there about three weeks ago. It's a great place full of history. You can definitely feel the history there

[@stacypletcher4166]

And omg you had the same tour guide I did.

Back in the 1950's my uncle played cards with Johnny Cash in Philly whenever Cash came through there. ❤

Absolutely fascinating, thank you so much for sharing this tour and piece of history with us 😍

[@sowerselvis]

Very cool! I just took my 9 year old son who is ate up with Elvis Jerry Lee and anything from the 50s to Memphis yesterday for Father's Day and we went to Graceland and Sun Records we missed you by a few days LOL

[@schlotdoglaser]

Just did the tour this last weekend......I was in heaven doing the tour....I could have just stayed there. Maybe one day I will get a couple of grand and record in there ($200/hr) a song or 2.

I went on the tour. It's a great experience.

This is fantastic and I hope I make it there one day. Many thanks from Australia

[@jeffkidd7409]

Great job capturing the tour. We loved it and our own tour of Sun Records. Thanks for taking the time to vlog it. That microphone that Elvis used is awesome and I have my picture taken in front of it. We also saw the drum set left in the studio. Thanks as always!

[@TuesdayAfternoon]

I love this vlog! Amazing to realize that all of these iconic artists were in one place at one time. The memorabilia is fantastic and really conveys the magic of the early years of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Not only is it a great tribute to Elvis and all the other legendary artists but to an unforgettable time in the history of recorded music. The tooled leather guitar cover and the microphone are extra cool! Sun Recording Studio truly is the birth place of Rock ‘N’ Roll! Thank you Jordan truly amazing! Your vlogs are the best!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thank you so much :)

[@SultanOfTwang1956]

@@DazewithJordantheLion Howdy, howdy there Jordan 😉Just wanted to say thanks a million for having shared this captivating, mesmerizing, breathtakingly, exhilarating shot of a blast from the past journey to the hallowed ground of the legendary, iconic Sun Studio. I made the pilgrimage once upon a time there, and would love nothing more than to return, but unfortunately due to my battling with severe health problems, that's never going to happen. Discovering this presentation is the closest I am ever gonna get to that dream, but you did such a utterly amazing, fantastic job, that's left me feeling as though I'd been walking right beside you the whole time. I truly, deeply, sincerely am grateful for the experience, and wish you, and all your loved ones, nothing but the very, very best in all things my friend.

Love sun records put out some of the best music

[@tnitron9750]

Yes those original SUN records do sound very real unlike the RCA records of Elvis that were remastered on a machine to quote "make it better" Elvis complained after hearing the remastered recording.

[@vanglover6030]

Very nice, Jordan. I wouldn't have wanted to take the tour with anyone else. Thanks.

[@tupelomiss8315]

We came to Memphis just 8 weeks ago.its such a cool place.and the tour was amazing.the chap was fantastic and funny.but made us feel so relaxed .its well worth going.if your in Memphis don’t miss out.we seen a different guy but there all so friendly and the people in the cafe couldn’t do enough to help.beautiful .from England.across the pond. Thank you so much for sharing.

I grew up in Memphis about a mile south of Graceland. I drove by the studio many times but never went in. I enjoyed the video and learned a lot. A very historic place.

[@andyhamilton8940]

BB King played on U2's song "When love comes to town" which was also done at Sun. BB also sang on this song.

Was there about 7 years ago. Complete bucket list item. Amazing tour. The day before we were in Nashville & did the Ryman Auditorium. Had a beer in the back side bar of Tootsies. Accross the alley from the back door of the Ryman. No lines, only 3 people in the bar. Probably where Cash & Hank went after they got kicked off the stage.

[@pamswilder51]

Having a great time on this road trip! Thanks Jordan! Amazing!

I can confirm that the first microphone is the actual one that they all used. Sam said, “I don’t want this behind glass. I want people to be able to touch it”

[@Gang155]

That was a fantastic tour! I loved everything! The old equipment, photos, stories and how you put it all together was fantastic work. I kept thinking about what a wonderful and exciting time it would have been to be part of Sun Studio, even as the secretary...what I do for work. Crazy!

[@mommycat2244]

Been watching your Elvis videos. My husband’s whole family is from Memphis, so we’re there every year at my mother in law’s home. Went to Sun Studios my first visit (along with Graceland). Loved my visit to both spots. Except we didn’t get to see much of Graceland. My non verbal autistic kiddo took one look up the stair case upon entering the house, and freaked out. We have no idea what it was he saw that spooked him. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had to run out of there to calm him down. So I enjoyed your Graceland video because although I’ve been there, I didn’t actually get to see most of what your video showed.

[@cherylfoster1223]

Carl Perkins was also there.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

It's talked about in the video

[@nightrider8908]

I visited the Sun studio in June 1979. The original recording room, which was not in the basement, had been converted into something else. Even in those days they did sell Sun studio memorabilia, but it wasn't yet big business. By the way, Elvis didn't make his record as a birthday present for his mother, whose birthday was in April. Elvis was in the studio about 10 months before her birthday. Besides, the Presley family was so poor that they had no record player.

[@Kevin-tz2lv]

He made it for his mother, not for her birthday. And he did have a record player and bought records for it. They had a TV and a piano as well.
