It was fifty years ago today. "Thank you! Thank you very much!"
On July/05/1954, a 19 year-old truck driver from Tupelo, Mississippi
went into Sun Recording Studios in Memphis, Tennessee with two two
studio musicians.
Went the rehearsal bogged down, the young man took an old R&B tune and gave it a lively guitar tempo.
Sam Phillips liked what he heard that day and signed that boy to
a recording contract. And the rest is history.
It was the birth of rockabilly, and of Elvis Presley's career.
