Transcript

00:00Hello.

00:00So what's going on today?

00:02Well, we're going to go check out Sun Studio,

00:04because I know you're on.

00:05You know, that's where it all began, really.

00:07Yeah.

00:08They're going to give us a real.

00:09Elvis recorded there.

00:11Jerry Lee Lewis recorded there.

00:13That's really cool.

00:14I'm so psyched about going to this

00:17because this is where rock and roll really started.

00:21Elvis, Johnny Cash.

00:23Roberson was huge.

00:26The Beatles, I would love for him.

00:28Really?

00:30Ye Olde, Merry Olde, Sun Studios

00:34should be just down here.

00:50Ooh.

00:51That's cool.

00:52Hello.

00:53Hi.

00:53How's it going?

00:54Hey.

00:54I'm Jack.

00:55Nice to meet you, Jack.

00:56Are you all excited to learn about some rock and roll history?

00:59Absolutely.

01:00Cool.

01:01Sam Phillips, the genius who started Memphis Recording Service,

01:04started it as a studio.

01:06Mm-hmm.

01:07But eventually, he started the Sun Record Company

01:09within the confines of Memphis Recording Service.

01:13In 1952, Sam launched Sun Records, and then one year later,

01:17and 18-year-old Elvis Presley came walking through these doors and changed music history forever.

01:24Marian Keisker, Sam Phillips' secretary, sat here, and she would greet all these amazing musicians.

01:30You know, Elvis Presley was kind of a kid who hung around here a lot, kind of trying to get in and trying to record here.

01:36Marian Keisker was the one that actually recorded him for the first time, and she convinced Sam to give him his first shot in the studio.

01:43Wow.

01:44Good convincing job.

01:45Yeah, if it wasn't for her, who knows what would have happened.

01:48Yeah, yeah.

01:49Interesting.

01:50Johnny Cash, actually, when he came here for the first time, was just a door-to-door salesman.

01:59And one of the things that he only sold as a really bad door-to-door salesman was a television set to Marian Keisker.

02:06Very cool.

02:07Kind of fun.

02:08Yeah.

02:09Elvis Presley did That's All Right here.

02:10That was his kind of big thing.

02:11Mm-hmm.

02:12Did you sing the record when the bloomer playing?

02:14Yeah.

02:15It was all live.

02:16It was just all raw.

02:17Wow.

02:18He told us that the bands would record live in one take.

02:21Yes.

02:22How hard is that?

02:23It's like a live album.

02:25You can't go and remix it.

02:27It's like getting out of a tape machine and singing a song, and that was it.

02:31And this microphone, actually, is an original Shure 55 Unidine mic.

02:36Elvis has used this microphone.

02:38Wow.

02:39I've got an electrocuted by one of these things.

02:40What?

02:41Really?

02:42Because if the guitar player stood next to you, and you'd touch this and touch the guitar,

02:46and then use it like a honk.

02:47Bang.

02:48Stay away from it.

02:49Groovy.

02:50Elvis is microphone.

02:53Okay, Elvis's microphone.

02:54aa
