That pioneer was Sam Phillips, the founder of Sun Records, who died on July 30, 2003, at the age of 80.
Phillips founded Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1952 with the goal of recording new and groundbreaking sounds. The label quickly became a home for emerging artists who would go on to reshape popular music.
That session produced "That’s All Right," a recording that helped introduce Presley to the world and became a major moment in the development of rock 'n' roll.
Sun Records also helped launch the careers of artists including Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. The label's combination of country, blues and rhythm and blues influences created a sound that would help shape the future of American music.
In 1986, Phillips was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of its inaugural class. He later received numerous honors recognizing his impact on music history.
