Answer:
Elvis Presley
Explanation:
Sam Phillips (1923-2003) began working with music in 1945 as a sound engineer on a Memphis radio. At 50, proving his business acumen, he opened the Memphis Recording Service where, for four dollars, anyone could record a record in his own voice. "We record anything, anywhere, anytime" was the company's slogan.
In the same year, Phillips founded Sun Records, which reflected in his releases his passion for black music of the time. In 53 the label recorded its first hit: the song "Bear Cat", recorded by Rufus Thomas in early career.
Still in 53, a 19-year-old boy named Elvis Presley knocked on Sun's door asking to record a song to give to his mother. The potential of the young singer caught Sam's attention so much that Elvis was hired by the label in no time.
Phillips and Elvis worked together for 16 months when they recorded some classics such as "Thats all right, mama", "Baby, lets play house" and "Blue moon of Kentucky".
By 55, the name Elvis Presley was already well known throughout the country and his latest single recorded by Sun (with "I forgot to remember forget" and "Mystery train") was the first on the country charts. The record company, however, was in bad shape, and Phillips sold Elvis's contract to RCA for $ 35,000.
