Sun Records was launched by Sam Phillips in Memphis in 1952 and became a foundational home of rock ’n’ roll through its open-minded blend of blues, country, gospel, and rhythm and blues. Elvis Presley recorded his first Sun single there, while Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbison helped make the label’s catalog legendary. The label’s intimate studio sound and spontaneous spirit still define an essential chapter of American music history.
