CDs and Music - Just The Good Stuff
The Sun Sessions by Elvis Presley ranked # 11 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Albums list.
The Sun Sessions was released in March 1976 and reached #76 on the pop and #2 on the country charts. The single "That's All Right" did not
chart when released in 1954 but became the focus of a great deal of attention fifty years later in 2004 when it was the subject of a great deal of
publicity. There was a special ceremony on 6 July 2004 featuring Isaac Hayes, Justin Timberlake, Moore and Black which was beamed live to
1200 radio stations. The song now went to 5 in the UK and Canada and also charted in Australia. The Sun Sessions was also re-released in
2004 to celebrate the anniversary.
The single "Baby, Let's Play House" combined with "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" reached #5 on the country charts in 1955. Also, RCA Records saw that Elvis was rapidly building a reputation for his live performances. They offered Sun Records $35,000 to buy out Presley's contract and the rest is history.
