Beginning in 1949, while Elvis Presley and Sun Records were still virtually unknown - and two full years before Alan Freed famously 'discovered' rock 'n' roll - Dewey Phillips brought rock 'n' roll to the Memphis airwaves. This book illustrates Phillips' role in turning a huge white audience on to previously forbidden race music.
