About Music & Film
In the mid-1950s, a handful of restless young musicians fused blues, country, and gospel into something that rattled the furniture and thrilled the teenagers. Sun Studio in Memphis hummed with slap-back echo; pianos were pounded; guitars were slung low. From Elvis's hip-swinging pompadour to Chuck Berry's duck walk, these pioneers didn't just play music — they invented an attitude that echoed for generations.
