That picture the Million Dollar Quartet is actually Billions of Dollar now. They were there together and toured together before Elvis was sold. Incredible.

i took my wife and kids there in the 1980s . i already knew the history of it , before i walked in. the kids loved it also.

For someone who lives on the other side of the planet, I can not Thank you enough for these videos, Thank you from Australia.

Nobody had the sound elvis had & nobody done gospel songs like he did. Elvis was & always wil be n my opinion rhe greatest singer of all time.

This doc is your best work. No Fluff nor Filler.

I visited Sun Records a few years back. I felt like there were ghosts in the rooms. It was unbelievable. The tour guide was a young guy who wasn't even born until the 1980s. He did his homework and gave an excellent tour.

I didn’t feel ghosts. Just the thought about who could have visited theplace…

What a cool bit of History. Can you imagine the chances that maybe they wouldn't call Elvis back and hear his wonderful voice. Makes me think how many others have tried and failed just because they didn't find the right person that thought they were good enough. You walked in the footsteps of Legends. Thank you Jordan

Nothing more magical than the relics and the stories of rock n roll history. Sun is the building where the egg was laid and hatched.

I could watch this over and over again! Actually that may or may not have happened. As I have said before, I’m anything and everything on the Life of Elvis.. And it was Sam Phillips’ Secretary that recorded Elvis first record for I believe $3. I live in Central Texas, but this year I WILL make the drive there and take the tour.. even if it’s a go and come back quick trip!

Dewey Philips was the first DJ to play That’s All Right Mama as a favor to Sam Phillips. It was so popular that he kept playing it over and over because people were calling in and asking to hear it again. It became a regional hit record. And Sam Phillips recorded black and white artists and this was when blacks were still being treated like second class citizens and segregation was still in effect. What a great and extensive Tour! Thanks for showing everything as I can’t travel and always wanted to see the Sun Studio. And Dewey Phillips was either naturally crazy or on Amphetamines and my moneys on Amphetamines. Nonetheless, he must be given credit for starting Elvis’s career off! And Sam Phillips discovered Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison and Ike Turner and Howlin Wolf. And Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins! Amazing! And Phillips sold Elvis’s contract to RCA for 35 Grand which is now like 350 Grand adjusted for inflation. The dollar was strong back then. You could buy a House and Car for 35 Grand and have money left over.

I remember visiting Sun Studio and Graceland in 2015 from Sweden. So cool! And with the same tour guide, haha!

Visited Memphis,August 2019 from England. Loved Graceland and Sun studios, will watch this over and over .Thanks for the upload.

This is one of the best tours I have ever taken! These tour guides make the history come alive!!!

If I had a time machine I’d go back to the very moment Elvis stepped foot in sun studio

Can you go there inside and sing a song 🎵 🎶? How much is it if so . I would love to do that

Had the honor to meet and talk to Sam Phillips from sun records ....he was a down to earth nice person ..rest in power and thanks for the conversation we had back in the day will always cherish that talk we had and to meet Sam Phillips in person

Been there and with the same tour guide that was featured. He's great and makes it so real. Thanks for sharing your memory that echoes mine. Everyone that loves country or rock and roll and blues should go here once. You will never forget it and even better every time you pick up an old sun record to play you will hear that space all over again because you were there.

Imagine going back in time and stop there to meet elvis before and after he recored his first song.

My brother, his wife and I visited this place. As the tour guy was telling all about the sun studio he was telling us about the X's on the floor, low and behold my brother was standing on the very spot that Elvis stood.

What a cool studio! And it’s a cultural landmark now!

Was there in 95, it has changed a lot.....myself and my girl were the only people on the tour....it was amazing

Awesome! I'm 49 and just now appreciating Elvis!

I was born July 54. One of my favourites it’s elvis . As my grandmother was a fan. Now my 8 year old grandaughter now is also. . I own the most amazing portrait of him gifted to me by my family on my 60th birthday. And created by my very talented neice. Love this video as I am a huge fan of Sam an sun records. I love seeing the stories that came about from the studio. Some amazing artists. Thankyou for sharing . Cheers from Aussie.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Totally rockabilly and rock and roll history. The sacred ground. Great vlog👍🏻😎

Wow… The history of modern Rock. Thanks for this, I can almost smell the place, the history, the wooden floors, pinboard walls, and old valves. One day if I have a lotto win, or a hit record myself, I will have the funds to make the pilgrimage from London UK 🇬🇧😊 CHEERS

Sun is an amazing and must-see tour. To walk through, stand and be where Elvis Presley and other greats stood is an experience that will last a lifetime. It all started at Sun, and you will leave with memories that you will want to share.

Johnny did record his early stuff there but he moved to Columbia in Nashville soon and recorded there.

Can't imagine just being there where Elvis Presley sang played his 🎸 guitar

All I can say is a big WOW!! So much talent and greatness under the same roof!! Thank you Jordan!!

There's something very magical at Sun Records. I'm glad that I visited that studio 20 years ago while I was in Memphis.

Went to Sun studios for my 50th birthday.The best day i ever had.You can just feel the atmosphere of the 1950s.Thankyou for posting this video.

Elvis quando estourou no Brasil, por volta de 1957 deixou todos loucos e os músicos brasileiros inconformados com tamanho sucesso e idolatria quando muitos tentaram imitá-lo, como Roberto e Erasmo Carlos, Simonal, Renato Araújo, Jerry Adriani, etc e, mais tarde, com o incrível Raul Seixas. O pessoal da velha guarda reagiu ao Elvis criando a Bossa Nova que também fez muito sucesso.

Can you just imagine leaning against the brick wall with those guys maybe smoking before going in to record. Cool

This is where black and white singers and groups were brought together to make some of the best music ever recorded. There was no race at Sun Studios. Everyone was accepted. The best of the best recorded here from B.B. King to Elvis to Carl Perkins to Jerry Lee Lewis. I mean come on the Prisonaires would have never gotten the opportunity anywhere on the planet to record a record. Sun's was an exceptional group of people to give a band like this half a chance. Sam is what real men are made of! An exceptional man. Total Class. Absolutely Legendary!

Back in the 1950's my uncle played cards with Johnny Cash in Philly whenever Cash came through there. ❤

Wow what a fantastic vlog ! Thank you so much Jordan ! :-)

Absolutely fascinating, thank you so much for sharing this tour and piece of history with us 😍

Loved listening and seeing this fantastic history! So awesome to see the pictures and hear the stories! And you got to hold the mike!

Very cool! I just took my 9 year old son who is ate up with Elvis Jerry Lee and anything from the 50s to Memphis yesterday for Father's Day and we went to Graceland and Sun Records we missed you by a few days LOL

The only one I'm interested in is Elvis , the best ever. 💕

We came to Memphis just 8 weeks ago.its such a cool place.and the tour was amazing.the chap was fantastic and funny.but made us feel so relaxed .its well worth going.if your in Memphis don’t miss out.we seen a different guy but there all so friendly and the people in the cafe couldn’t do enough to help.beautiful .from England.across the pond. Thank you so much for sharing.

Great job capturing the tour. We loved it and our own tour of Sun Records. Thanks for taking the time to vlog it. That microphone that Elvis used is awesome and I have my picture taken in front of it. We also saw the drum set left in the studio. Thanks as always!

Your so lucky to live in the states and visit all these amazing places I myself live in the uk were there is nothing here like you have in the states, thank you so much for the uploads..

I love this vlog! Amazing to realize that all of these iconic artists were in one place at one time. The memorabilia is fantastic and really conveys the magic of the early years of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Not only is it a great tribute to Elvis and all the other legendary artists but to an unforgettable time in the history of recorded music. The tooled leather guitar cover and the microphone are extra cool! Sun Recording Studio truly is the birth place of Rock ‘N’ Roll! Thank you Jordan truly amazing! Your vlogs are the best!

@@DazewithJordantheLion Howdy, howdy there Jordan 😉Just wanted to say thanks a million for having shared this captivating, mesmerizing, breathtakingly, exhilarating shot of a blast from the past journey to the hallowed ground of the legendary, iconic Sun Studio. I made the pilgrimage once upon a time there, and would love nothing more than to return, but unfortunately due to my battling with severe health problems, that's never going to happen. Discovering this presentation is the closest I am ever gonna get to that dream, but you did such a utterly amazing, fantastic job, that's left me feeling as though I'd been walking right beside you the whole time. I truly, deeply, sincerely am grateful for the experience, and wish you, and all your loved ones, nothing but the very, very best in all things my friend.

I couldn't even imagine what it felt like to be in that room!

What a wonderful history lesson. So many icons related to Sun Studio. That had to be such an exciting experience for you, Jordan. Thank you ever so much!!!! Much love to you and Jah❤❤❤❤🦁

Real history. Young B B KING, ELVIS PRESLEY , wow beautiful

Great Vlog Jordan, I'm a huge Elvis fan...I seen Elvis in concert on August 1, 1976 and I got to see Jery Lee in the mid 80's

What a phenomenal video! I have been to Memphis a few times, and it's an amazing place. Great Town, and Beale Street is amazing. Right around the corner, Sun Records is just so so cool. Went there this past summer, and took the Family. We loved it. Can't wait to get back and see more. GREAT video.

That was sooo awesome Jordan ❤🎙 Thank you so much for this terrific Vlog ❤ long live the KING And all the famous artists who recorded there 🎙🎙🎵🎵🎶❤

Very nice, Jordan. I wouldn't have wanted to take the tour with anyone else. Thanks.

Most magical place I’ve ever been to. Even got to play the original ‘Great balls of fire’ piano! Thanks to the team there!

What a fantastic bucket list dream to fulfill! Truly sacred ground. Thank you bringing us along on this amazing journey.

Rock & Roll was my era, many moons ago, sure has changed

First of all, I’m so glad you were able to visit here and check this one off your bucket list! WOW! This would be a dream come true to go here and to hold the microphone used by Elvis, Johnny Cash, etc. Craig would LOVE to see Sun Studios! I enjoyed the tour so much. Thanks for taking us along!

That was amazing! I really enjoyed this! When music was at it's best! Rock and Roll!

That was a fantastic tour! I loved everything! The old equipment, photos, stories and how you put it all together was fantastic work. I kept thinking about what a wonderful and exciting time it would have been to be part of Sun Studio, even as the secretary...what I do for work. Crazy!

I went on the tour. It's a great experience.

Wow....That's like stepping back in time !! Love all the singers they talked about also Jordan . Glad you got a shot of youself holding that famous microphone . Whoa.... that was so cool....!! Loved every second of this vlog !! Thanks Jordan !! 😎🎙🎼🎵🎶❤

What an awesome blast from the past in music history Jordan! Very intriguing and informative! 👍

I grew up in Memphis about a mile south of Graceland. I drove by the studio many times but never went in. I enjoyed the video and learned a lot. A very historic place.

Loved this video...so neat to see the recording studio where Elvis started...of coarse i totally freaked when he said Def Leppard has recorded there...one word for it...CLASSIC

Good talent & heart = success!

I can't believe I'm seeing the inside of this place for the first time on KZread, when I used to live down the street from it and never bothered to check it out. I guess it shows how we can just take things for granted when it's in your own backyard.

BB King played on U2's song "When love comes to town" which was also done at Sun. BB also sang on this song.

This is fantastic and I hope I make it there one day. Many thanks from Australia

Yes those original SUN records do sound very real unlike the RCA records of Elvis that were remastered on a machine to quote "make it better" Elvis complained after hearing the remastered recording.

History! Rock n Roll History! Amazing tour Jordan

I have been in sun, 12 times, every time i go, it's like the first time, love Memphis mafia, Memphis history, most of all ELVIS my brother, awesome Jordan 🙏🎶

I had the Sun Sessions Elvis recordings when they came out w the box set in the 90’s . Always wanted to see SunStudios! You rocked this vlogJordan!🎸🎸🎹

Great vid, to think Johnny Cash, Jerry Lewis and Elvis all there! And Elvis walks in to make a record for his Mum. Imagine if that place never existed! Music would have not been the same.

I was so blessed to see BB KING and Lucille of course before he passed away. It was incredible. I’m from southern Louisiana. Now I just gotta meet Jerry Lee Lewis. He’s been my favorite musician/singer since I was a child.

Thankyou Sam Phillips & Sun Studio , I have the famous Million Dollar Quartet photo (sepia) framed with cutout signatures of all 4 of those legends hanging on my wall in my music collection of signed memorabilia. Thankyou for sharing JTL !!

Jordan, You blew it out of the water with the Elvis vlogs!!!! Great job❤

Having a great time on this road trip! Thanks Jordan! Amazing!

Thanks for this awesome video tour brother! I only went into the cafe. I didn't know about the tour until later. So thanks for that awesome tour! 👍🏽

Total awesomeness!!!! Love this❤❤❤❤

Yes! I enjoyed it so much! You are on a roll!

The history made here was amazing. Probably the biggest influential recording building ever. It's also interesting to see which ones made it and which ones didn't.

Awesome history and magical time for music! It's never happened again anywhere in the world on this scale.

This is truly one of the best places I’ve ever been. It’s worth every penny. It’s a place where the history gives vibrations that you can feel. Glad you finally got there.

Johnny cash and elvis changed my musical life and you got your sun history down pat kudos

I just watched this video again. Such great history and the great icons that started out there. I love Elvis and Johnny and still listen to their music today. So glad that Billy mentioned liking you and I looked up your videos. Thank you so much Jordan.

A big “Thank you very much”. It was one of my dream to go there ; unfortunately I’ll never will (health) but your video was as if I were here with you and it’s very appreciated. Thank you again !

Loved every minute of it! The vocal mic, used by so many musical giants, was my ultra favorite. Thanks, once again, Jordan! 🦁🦁🦁

Been watching your Elvis videos. My husband’s whole family is from Memphis, so we’re there every year at my mother in law’s home. Went to Sun Studios my first visit (along with Graceland). Loved my visit to both spots. Except we didn’t get to see much of Graceland. My non verbal autistic kiddo took one look up the stair case upon entering the house, and freaked out. We have no idea what it was he saw that spooked him. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I had to run out of there to calm him down. So I enjoyed your Graceland video because although I’ve been there, I didn’t actually get to see most of what your video showed.
