Comment:

From Elvis Presley to Roy Orbison, a jaw-dropping crew of American music's masters got their start at Sun Records. But the label's regal roster is also full of less famous names whose contributions to the Sun story were just as striking. Rockabilly firecracker Billy Lee Riley took the Memphis sound into outer space with his 1957 hit "Flyin' Saucers Rockin' Roll," featuring some peerless piano work from Jerry Lee Lewis. Blues guitar man Pat Hare's deliciously dirty-sounding axe cuts dangerously through "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby," made all the more chilling by the fact that, years later, Hare did, indeed, go to prison for murdering his real-life girlfriend. Then there's "Harmonica" Frank Floyd, who perfected a pioneering blend of blues and folk in the '30s — by the time he cut "Rockin' Chair Daddy" for Sun, the rock 'n' roll revolution for which he'd blazed the trail was already underway.
