On January 8, 1935, Elvis Aaron Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, a small town close to the Tennessee border. He went down in history as the King of Rock 'n' Roll. But “The Memphis Flash” was much broader musically speaking. If the stories are to be believed, it was more of a coincidence that Elvis came on the rockabilly funnel. During a session with Scotty Moore and Bill Black at the legendary Sun Studio, he drummed on his acoustic guitar during a break and sang the song “That’s Allright” by Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup, an African-American blues singer from Mississippi. The other two musicians present jumped in on the song and what resulted was the sound that studio operator Mr. Phillips was looking for. A fusion of rhythm 'n' blues and country. This new style of music was given the name “Rockabilly”. The sound inspired many contemporaries in the southern states of the USA and it sparked a wave that spread almost all over the world.
