It doesn't get better than this. If you want to talk about Memphis music royalty then you have to talk about the late, great Sam Phillips - the legendary producer who started Sun Records and Sun Studios. In 1969, Sam Phillips sold Sun to Shelby Singleton but his son has kept the family legacy alive. Jerry Phillips is a legendary musician and producer in his own right. Along with musician Scott Bomar he took us on an exclusive tour of the Sam Phillips Studios and shared what it was like growing up around Elvis Presley and the wild stories from his studios.
