Memphis, Tennessee soul music juggernaut of the South. Home to Stax and Hi Records, Sun Recording studio which infamously released Elvis' first album, and is also the birthplace of ARETHA FRANKLIN. Not proof enough? I'm sure by the end of the show you'll have heard some super familiar sounds. So get acquainted with Memphis Sound.
(Begins about 10:30m in)
