I Can't Stop Loving You (1953-1963)
In Memphis, Sun Studios' budding artists Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley ushered in the era of rockabilly, while Patsy Cline showed off Music City's smooth new Nashville sound.
In Memphis, the confluence of blues and hillbilly music at Sun Studios gave birth to rockabilly, the precursor of rock and roll. Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash were at the forefront.
In the recording studios of Music City, country music鈥檚 twang was replaced by something smoother - the Nashville sound. Patsy Cline became one of its biggest stars before her untimely death.
