Memphis - Soul City
by Ric Stewart
Above the Delta, the metropolis of the region became a home to radio dee-jays,
Howlin' Wolf and B.B. King, and the destination for Elvis, Otis and Al
Green. The sounds conjure images of punchy horn arrangements, gut busting
soul, the groove rhythms of Booker T. and The M.G.'s, Albert King's bent
notes, and the pumping piano of Jerry Lee Lewis. Memphis carries its weight
against any other music town. Check out Hi Records,
