A very young James Brown used to shine shoes & dance for troops for money in Georgia’s Fort Gordon. Coincidentally, blues guitarist Howlin’ Wolf was serving in the Army at that same fort, and the future Godfather of Soul was inspired to pick up a guitar by watching Wolf play every day.

There's little doubt that rock n roll was born with Memphis' Sun Records in the mid-1950s. Sam Phillips started recording the blues, and captured the voices of new talent from the area, like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. The rest was rockabilly history. This band shirt design features the famous yellow Sun Records logo, and it says "Where Rock n Roll was Born" and the year of Sun's founding, 1952. The bottom reads "Memphis, Tennessee".
