Many consider Sun Recording Studio as the birthplace of Rock N Roll. Starting out as Memphis Recording Services where Sam Phillips is known to have focused on African-American music, Ike Turner and many others have recorded here. Ike turner said that his band actually wrote what is considered the first Rock N Roll song ever recorded, Rocket 88. The story goes that Sam Phillips told Ike Turner he could not sing so one of Ike s bandmates,Jackie Brenston sang the song. Jackie Brenston and the Delta cat s was one name they went by. Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Oberson and Carl Perkins we re all known to have started there as well as many others. All of the guides are incredible, very high energy, very knowledgeable and at the end of the tour open for any questions. Also they are singers, guitarists and artists themselves. Many legends have haunted this studio and is such a treasure for anyone interested in the beginnings of Rock N Roll.
