Sun Records
Place in Memphis during the tumultuous beginning of the civil rights movement, Sun Records tells the untold story of nothing less than the arrival of rock'n' roll. Directed by Sam Phillips, young musicians such as Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis combined the designs of hillbilly nation together using all the 1950s R&B sound generated by artists like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Fats Domino and Ike Turner, and changed the course of music forever. The series chronicles the young artists' usually jarring and surprising rise to popularity in the face of unrest and political change.
