Description: Music producer Sam Phillips and his landmark studio Sun Records hold a unique place in the history of rock 'n roll - by many accounts before Phillips recorded Rocket 88 by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats in 1951, rock 'n roll as we know it didn't even exist. Phillips is simultaneously hailed as the man who discovered Elvis Presley and derided as the man who sold the same artist to RC a for a paltry $35,000. The list of musical legends that passed through the doors of Sun Records is simply astounding including BB King Ike Turner Johnny Cash Roy Orbison Jerry Lee Lewis and more. SUN KING strips away the glossy veneer of legend around the Phillips story - which like his signature sound was much the result of his own careful crafting - to reveal a man who from a very young age heard a musical sound that no one else heard. Complete with a full Sun Records discography Sun King is an indispensable document in the history of rock music.
