On this day nine years ago in 2003 Sam Phillips moved on up to the great recording studio in the sky. Arguably one of the most influential music figures of the last 100 years, Phillips' Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee unleashed Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins on the world and it has never been the same since.
It's nigh on impossible to single out one favourite track from the Sun catalog but I've always had a soft spot for this one.
