Sun Records

Sun Records is an American independent record label founded by producer Sam Phillips in Memphis, Tennessee on February 1, 1952.[1][2] Sun was the first label to record Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. Prior to that, Sun had concentrated mainly on African-American musicians because Phillips loved rhythm and blues and wanted to bring it to a white audience.

For the jazz rock label established by Frank Wright, see Sun Records (jazz). For the TV series based on the label, see Sun Records (TV series). For all other Sun Records, see Sun Records (other companies).
