Wish I could have seen him live. Saw Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee. Even saw Jimi Hendrix. But Chuck was the REAL king of Rock and Roll.
Of all the “founders, only the Killer is still alive.
If you have the CMT cable channel, I recommend their miniseries "Sun Records", about Sam Phillips and Sun Studio in Memphis.
The first few episodes have been plodding in spots, but I'm looking forward to this week's episode, looks like Elvis recording his first record there.
To stand on the spot where these giants recorded their first records, I couldn't help but feel in awe of the place. The tour at Sun Studio is really interesting, my boys enjoyed it, too, including my 6 YO grandson.
