Sam can't find the follow-up hit to Ike Turner's 'Rocket 88'. Colonel Tom Parker's conniving ways are exposed. Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart have their eye on the same girl.
Set in Memphis during the tumultuous early days of the civil rights movement, Sun Records tells the untold story of nothing less than the birth of rock 'n' roll. Guided by Sam Phillips, young musicians like Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis combined the styles of hillbilly country with the 1950s RandB sound created by artists like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Fats Domino and Ike Turner, and changed the course of music forever. The series chronicles the young artists' often jarring and sudden meteoric rise to fame in the face of sweeping political change and social unrest.
