I whakatuwherahia a Sun Studio i Memphis i te 3 o Hanuere, 1950, na te kaihanga tuhi, a Sam Phillips. Ko te whare karakia i huaina tuatahi ko te Ratonga Tuhituhi Memphis me te tuhi i tetahi whare me te tapanga Sun Records. Ko te Ratonga Tuhituhi o Memphis i riro i te taitara o "Te Wahi o te Toka me te Roopu" i te tau 1951 i te wa i tuhia ai e Jackie Brenston me Ike Turner te Rocket 88 , he waiata me te putea taimaha me te tangi i ona ake ake. I whanauhia te Rock me te pukapuka.
Elvis i Sun Studio
I te tau 1953, ka haere a Elvis Presley , 18-tau, ki te Ratonga Tuhituhi Memphis me te utu iti me te moemoea. I a ia, ka waiata ia i te waiata whakangahau, kaore e whakaatu ana ia Sam Phillips. I noho tonu a Elvis i te whare taiao, heoi, i te tau 1954, ka tono a Sam Phillips ki a ia kia waiata ano, ka tautokohia e te roopu ko Scotty Moore me Bill Black. I muri i nga haora o te tuhi me te kore e whakaatu ki a ia, ka timata a Elvis ki te takaro ki tetahi waiata tawhito, "He pai, Mama." Ko te toenga, ko te tikanga, hitori.
I tua atu o Rock me Roll
He nui atu i te toka me te roopu i tuhia ki Sun Studio. Ko nga ingoa nui i roto i te whenua me te rockabilly rite Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, me Charlie Rich i hainatia e te Sun Records me te tuhi i to ratou pukapuka i roto i nga tau 1950. I reira ko Sam Phillips te whakatuwhera i tetahi ruma nui ki Madison Avenue.
I tenei ra, ka hoki mai a Sun Studio ki tana taatai taketake i runga i te Union Avenue.
Ehara i te mea koinei te tuhi tuhi, engari he mahinga taonehi rongonui ano hoki.
