1. Sun Studio

DOWNTOWN.   Recently designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, Sun Studio offers guided tours of its Museum Gallery and Recording Studio. This is where Elvis recorded his first song, "My Happiness," and you can even touch the first microphone he used! It's also the studio that launched the careers of greats such as B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. Loads of memorabilia and outtakes from recording sessions ensure a lively, not to mention educational, experience. The store is next door in a former café and offers T-shirts, caps, CDs, books, and souvenirs to commemorate your visit.   (© 10Best)

Sun Studio is known as the Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll. It was here that Sam Phillips discovered Elvis Presley, as well as recorded the likes of B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis. (from Southern Living)

A "rockin" good time! Take the tour and see where Elvis and others made their start in music. Great memorabilia everywhere and the tour hosts know their music and put on a great, entertaining show themselves!

A must-see place for anyone interested in the beginnings of rock 'n roll. Graceland is great, but what Elvis started at this little hole-in-the-wall studio made Graceland possible. Early rock history surrounds you the second you walk in the door.
