Sunday, Jul. 04

Sam Phillips, owner of Sun Records, asks guitarist Scotty Moore to check out Elvis Presley, to see if he has any potential. Elvis arrives at Scotty’s house, where bassist Bill Black is also present. Elvis sings a selection of songs, mainly country ballads, and neither Scotty nor Bill are very impressed, but Sam decides to give it a shot.
