allangange I had been looking forward to seeing this for a long time so when I started watching it I forgave a supposed 16 year old Elvis looking older. But then it just had so many inaccuracies- from Ike Turner being shot at, too Blue Moon Of Kentucky being Elvis's first single to Marion Keisker's complete make-over to Elvis not shopping at Lansky's until the Colonel advises it and then dying his hair black 2 years before it actually happened. It's all so annoying that it ruined what might have been a good show

Gunhawk The errors are glaring and insulting. Elvis Presley's 1st hit was *not* "Blue Moon of Kentucky". It was "That's all right" that Sam Phillips heard Elvis do, and promoted it on local stations. That was his first hit, not "Blue Moon of Kentucky", which was the flip side. I have no idea how they got such an iconic record wrong. Phillips did *not* turn Ike Turner away because Ike didn't have the few dollars to cut a record. B.B. King suggested that Phillips listen to Ike Turners Kings Of Rhythm and he did. Turner didn't steal the tip jar from a restaurant, and a restaurant owner did not fire a rifle at a fleeing Turner and hit his amplifier. There are many versions of how the amplifier was damaged, but it certainly wasn't from a bullet. That whole segment was a complete fabrication. Ike Turner did *not* jealously leave the recording session when when Jackie Brenston sang lead on "Rocket 88". I have never read anything that suggested that he was anything but perfectly fine with that arrangement. Brenston did *not* leave the "King of Rhythm" to work for Sam Phillips. He left to become a solo performer with a big band. That whole story line about Marion and Sam's torrid love affair is not documented anywhere. It appears to be pure soap opera, and as was pointed out by another reviewer, the real Marion was hardly the hot chick that Sam would have left his wife for. She was seven years older than him and looked older than that! Lastly, the series was *not* based on the play "The Million Dollar Quartet". In fact, TMDQ took place over the period of *one day* when the four singers got together. This series ends long before that meeting. What a monumental disappointment "Sun Records" is.

QueRubicon This is such a GREAT show! FASCINATING both in terms of the individual lives of the characters, the social scene of the times, and the music history. EVERYONE is extremely well cast. My favorites are Jerry Lee Lewis and Jimmy Swaggart. Hilarious!(Especially when you think of their adult histories) Sam Philips, superb vocal expression of the different sides of himself, and the Colonel, also hilarious, and an education to one who has lived a sheltered life. Marion - amazing in her strengths and worthy of sympathy in her vulnerability. I look forward to every episode.

dougwall-40004 The recent episode where Sam Phillips walks into Chess Record's office was way out of sync! Supposedly this happened in 1951 when Rocket 88 was recorded. The TV show has Sam Phillips walking into the office of Chess while the Moonglows' recording of Sincerely is playing in the background. This song was written by Harvey Fuqua and Alan Freed in 1954 and the Moonglows' Sincerely was recorded in 1955. How could the writers of this show be so stupid as to make such a blunder?Reply
