Sun Records has perhaps the biggest claim to the birth of Rock n Roll. Founded in 1952 in Memphis, Tennessee, Sun's first big hit was the first rock n roll song, ever --Ike Turner's 1951 hit "Rocket 88". Leveraging the success, owner Sam Phillips was able to start Sun Records in 1952.

Phillips quickly discovered & enlisted blues trailblazer Howlin' Wolf, and then captured the rocking new country-influenced sound that would become Rockabilly, signing hot young talent in Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.Then one day, Johnny Cash wandered into the label, hoping to play his own song, "Folsom Prison Blues", a simple request that would begin a prolific fifty year career.  

About that time, local boy Elvis Presley walked into the studio, paying to sing a song "for his mother". Months later, Phillips called Elvis for an experimental studio session that did not go well -- until the Tupelo boy strummed out a rollicking version of an Arthur Crudup blues song. Elvis' cover of "Shake, Rattle & Roll" kicked off an unprecedented, decades-long international explosion of music that would be broadly known as Rock n Roll.
