Sam Phillips and Sun Records | Soundbreaking

Get to know the renowned Memphis Recording Studio and Sun Records—and how producer Sam Phillips founded them—by watching this clip from Soundbreaking. Phillips was known for crafting unique, individualized sounds for each artist he recorded, but perhaps more importantly, he advocated for black musicians and actively sought some of the most famous artists in the history of rock and roll to record on Sun Records.
