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.
