Session with Sam Phillips
The story of Elvis’ first visit to Sun Studio in 1953 is considered one of the major stepping stones to his career. Though he often claimed he had just gone in to record some songs for his mother, he frequently returned to studio to see if any bands needed singers. And to see if the studio’s owner, Sam Phillips, was there. Philips had earned a national reputation for discovering rhythm and blues artists that went on to become famous. And Elvis wanted to be Phillips’ next big star.
After months of waiting and checking in at the studio, Elvis returned to Sun Studio in January 1954 to record more songs. This time he lucked out, and Sam Phillips was in the office. Elvis sang “Casual Love Affair” and “I’ll Never Stand in Your Way” while Phillips recorded. Though Phillips didn’t offer Elvis any immediate opportunities, he took the young singer’s phone number and address.
A few months passed with no word from Phillips, but Elvis didn’t give up. Then, in June, Phillips heard a song that reminded him of Elvis and called him to come record “Without You.” Though Elvis wasn’t able to get the song just right, Phillips asked him to sing whatever else he knew. Elvis’ variety of country and R&B songs impressed Phillips, who set up a meeting between the young singer and guitarist Scotty Moore. That meeting would be the spark that ignited Elvis’ local fame.
