Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee claims to be the birthplace of Rock and Roll.

(Beneath the shadow of Graceland and within earshot of the blues of Beale street - the small label hosted musical greats like Howlin’ Wolf, B. B. King, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Adams , Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and a young Elvis Presley.)
