REGION 1 DVD!
Historians may never agree about where and
when rock 'n' roll was born, but they do
agree that an entrepreneur in the world of
music named Sam Phillips began a revolution
and spawned a legacy when he created Sun
Records. This Memphis-based success story
defined some of the most appealing roots of
American popular culture with such seminal
artists as Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins,
Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and so many
others, all reprised in this two-hour
American Masters film with such performers
as Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant,
and Live, many accompanied by Elvis'
original sidemen, Scotty Moore and D.J.
Fontana. Highlights include a moving
rendition of "Lonely Weekends" with Jerry
Lee Lewis and Matchbox Twenty, and an
emotional reunion of old Mississippi Delta
musicians. Songs: That's All Right (Paul
McCartney), Honey Don't (Ben Folds Five),
Rock n' Roll Ruby (Mark Knopfler), I Walk
the Line (Live), My Bucket's Got a Hole in
It (Robert Plant & Jimmy Page), Blue Suede
