July 5,1954
A 19 year-old truckdriver named Elvis Presley walked
into the offices of Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee
Elvis sang Arthur Crudup's That’s All Right, Mama

Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun Records, recorded Elvis
on an acetate record and sent it to a local disc jockey
who agreed to play it.

For the very first time in his life, Elvis Presley
had hit the airwaves and the station was inundated
with phone calls and reportedly had to play it over
fourteen times during the course of the show.

Presley had started on the road to fame and
the rest is music history.

The line below the title notwithstanding, all of the text is from artdaily.com ©
but it is slightly revised and streamlined.

The "local disc jockey" was Dewey Phillips who is not related to Sam Phillips.

Guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black are heard on Elvis Presley's first recording and many more.

To the best of my knowledge, no photograph of "a nineteen year-old truckdriver named Elvis Presley" is being auctioned in Dublin.
The microphone-wielding Elvis photo is from an alternate source.

Photographer Lew Allen is worthy of a hyperlink. Good luck in tracking down "Ken 1971"

The hyperlink to "Elvis Presley's first recording" features the b-side: Blue Moon Over Kentucky. The youTube video begins with a brief promo for David Bowie.

I would like to thank youTube-ster jimihendrixnews for posting a rare solo acoustic version of Hound Dog by Mr. Hendrix.

In closing, I would like to thank artdaily.com for once again demonstrating that Rock & Roll can qualify as Art!
