          Florence native Sam Phillips – the music visionary credited as the “Father of Rock ’n’ Roll” – ignited an earth-shaking cultural revolution with his fateful discovery of Elvis Presley and his trailblazing establishment of the star-making Sun Records label in Memphis, Tennessee.

          A little more than a year after launching Sun, Phillips produced Presley’s historic first recordings – the double-sided debut single “That’s All Right, Mama” and “Blue Moon of Kentucky” – before signing future superstars Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison and Charlie Rich to his independent record label.

          In addition to Presley’s first five singles – which also included “Mystery Train” and “Good Rockin’ Tonight” – Phillips and Sun produced such landmark recordings as Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “I Walk the Line,” Lewis’ “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” and “Great Balls of Fire” and Perkins’ “Blue Suede Shoes,” the first song to hit No.
