THE NEXT ELVIS: Mysteries of Rock and Soul

Written By Reggie Morris

Classic interviews and music from Memphis’ Sun Records late founder Sam Phillips, Elvis Presley sidemen DJ Fontana and Scotty Moore, and Jerry Lee Lewis on the mysteries of rock n roll royalty. Sun Records memoirist Barbara Sims is our palace guide. The late Rufus Thomas talks funky and fried chicken. Then it’s on to a Muscle Shoals conversation with the downhome, soul siren Candi Staton.
