    He is probably most famous as the guy who discovered Elvis.  He was the owner of Sun Records in Memphis and recorded the very first sessions with Elvis, he also recorded other rock and roll pioneers Jerry Lee Lewis, Car Perkins and Roy Orbision.

    You really have to ask? If I had one wish in life it would be to have been a fly on the wall in Sun Studio.
