How Sun Records Saved a Lost Collection of Legendary Music - Musicbed Blog

Rock ’n roll was born at Sun Records. The list of earth-shattering artists who got their start there is hard to believe: Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and so many others. As Collin Brace, VP of Sun Records, told us, “These guys defined not only a genre, but a generation.” In many ways, Sun Records and its artists paved the way for indie musicians and studios today. They were future minded. Open minded. They welcomed anyone with a guitar and a song. This is how they found legendary, mold-breaking artists like Johnny Cash. And it’s also how they ended up with over 8,000 master recordings from artists who never made it big, if it at all.

Cool story about some lost/found Sun Records recordings that will soon be posted online!

Malcolm Yelvington, various altered colored screenshots form the short film, of Malcolm’s life,‘‘It’s Me Baby.’’ It was created and directed by Devin Miller, while in his junior year, in 1997.

It’s a lovingly crafted film of a great man. I recommend everyone interested in Malcolm, to see it.

❿ of The ⓬ Days of Christmas Challenge.

I really like Malcolm, he reminds me of Carl Perkins; they were both at Sun Records, were sidelined by Sam Phillips, had rowdy pasts and became more family-oriented, and both left their mark on Country and Rockabilly music history.

He joined at 35 in 1953, during his time at Sun, he was kinda like the old guy. As younger acts like Carl, who at 24 in 1954, joined the label, Phillips put less effort toward Malcolm. He became disappointed with the music business and went back to his job as a welder to support his family. He retired from playing music professionally, and quit drinking and cussing, after dedicating his life to Christ.

Quot by Malcolm from the short film: ‘‘I joined a church in 1961, I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior, and I still belong to the same church, I joined in January 1961. My wife and I, we’ve been married – 58 years, last January the 14th. She loves me and I love her, we have 5 children, 3 boys, and 2 girls, we have 11 grandchildren, and we have two great-grandchildren…And it’s a pretty good sized family if you try to get them in this small house of mine.’’
