The Music That Made Memphis: 50 Years of Rock 'n' Roll On July 5th, 1954, in a small recording studio on Union Avenue in Memphis TN, four men presided over a moment that changed the world. Studio owner, Sam Phillips, had already recorded many of the era's greatest blues artists - B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Ike Turner. The players (Scotty Moore and Bill Black) were accomplished country musicians on the Memphis club scene and the singer, Elvis Presley, was a truck driver and recent high-school graduate. Together, recording the old blues song "That's All Right" with a brand new spirit, they united American music into a style that swept through the world: rock 'n' roll.
