Sun Records is an American independent record label founded by producer Sam Phillips in Memphis, Tennessee on February 1, 1952.[3][2] Sun was the first label to record Elvis Presley, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. Prior to that, Sun had concentrated mainly on African-American musicians because Phillips loved rhythm and blues and wanted to bring it to a white audience.
On January 28, 2021, Sun Records was acquired by Primary Wave for $30 million.[4]
