Sam Phillips will always be remembered as the man who signed Elvis to Sun Records and the man who sold his contract to RCA. He had quite a roster for awhile, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbision, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and many more. He had a ear for music and was never afraid to take credit for his many accomplishments. I used to live in Memphis and have been by his studio many times. I think we all owe a great deal to Sam Phillips and his wonderful insight to bring what was then new music to the scene. Without Sam Phillips the current music we have today would have been vastly different. A job well done, Rest In Peace Sam.
