The Memphis Recording Service at 706 Union Avenue was no more than a tiny storefront recording studio when it opened for business on January 3, 1950. No one could have imagined that in a few short years it would change world history, launching the careers of such musical icons as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and more. Learn the story of this upstart record label and Sam Phillips, its visionary founder, in a program that will have a whole lot of shakin’ going on!
