"I sound
like nobody" is what had said the 18-year old truck driver Elvis
Presley to Marion Keisker the secretary of the Sun studios in Memphis where he
had come to record his earliest songs, 2
former hits of the Ink Spots. Elvis did not think launching into a singer's
career but mostly wanted to hear the
sound of his voice and impress his mother. This test having remained unanswered,
he goes back to the studio for a second recording session but gets only few
support from producer Sam Philips. This one does not however delay changing his mind and puts Elvis in touch with guitarist
Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black. In early July, the trio records a cover of That's Alright Mama, a blues song written 10 years by Arthur Big Boy Crudup.
Philips is this time excited by the sound and the rhythm of the performance.
The 45 rpm that follows becomes fast a local hit, as well as in Arkansas and New Orleans. Taking the
name of Hillbilly Cat, Elvis makes his first live performances in Memphis where
he sings his rendition of Bill Monroe’s Blue Moon of Kentucky which reaches # 1 in the local country chart. Filled with
the neighboring black Delta blues culture, he will adapt the musical genre to rock
'n' roll making it the mainstream of white teenagers preferences.

Artist of the year : Joni James
With 9 songs in the U.S. chart, Joni James runs a flawless course. This young 22-year-old
singer had her all first hits the previous
year and now confirms the extent of her talent. Born in Chicago to Italian parents,
she fist intended to become a dancer, beginning her career as a chorus girl. She chooses
eventually to be a singer and fast gets noticed in advertising TV spots, convincing
the executives of the MGM to make her contract.Success comes quickly. Her refreshing young voice wins the public's heart thanks to a sentimental register in the moods of the times breaking with the swing-jazz style that prevailed during the previous decade. She appears somehow as the new generation of popular music along with rock n 'roll and R & B trends.

Artist of the year : Rosemary Clooney
Rosemary Clooney had got noticed in 1946 during a radio program in Cincinnati, singing in duet with her sister Betty. The two young women worked then together in Don Pastor’s orchestra until Rosemary chooses to start a solo career in 1949. It is with Come On-A My House that she got her first national hit two years later, a track which would also be her signature song even if she later declared to hate it passionately. She had initially refused to record it but the Columbia firm had threatened to sue her for violation of her contract if she did not do so.
She makes
a little later a brief appearance in the western movie Slaughter Trail, before releasing in 1952 a series of hits including Half As Much and
especially Tenderly, in a rendition that would perhaps be the best among all performers.

1951
With 6
million records sold in 1951, Les Paul and his wife Mary Ford appeared as the most
prominent musical group of the year. More than a good instrumentist, Les Paul was
actually an outstanding sound engineer. From the early 40s, he made of the electric guitar the object
of his innovations, adding sound effects which were to make the heyday of rock
n’ roll such as echo chamber and reverb. He ran parallel researches on recording
techniques with the financial support of Bing Crosby, creating in particular
the first multitrack tape recorder. Seriously injured in a car crash in 1948,
he almost lost his right arm but the surgeons succeeded in saving it locked in
a 90° angle allowing him to continue to play guitar. In 1950, he married singer
Mary Ford (whose real name was Colleen Summers ), developing for her his “sound on sound” technique of re-recording, overdubbing
her own voice ( though a process already operated by vocalist Patti Page ).
Their cover
of How High The Moon , a jazz standard written in 1940 spent 25 weeks on the
Billboard Chart and topped number 1 during 9 weeks.

Artist of the year : Red Foley
The least that
can be said about Red Foley, a veteran
of the big folk song mass that was then the Grand Ole' Opry, is that he always had a
gift for popularizing the sometimes ungrateful accents of country blues music by performing
titles with a personal pleasant touch
subtly flavored to boogie-woogie sauce.
After the true jewel released the previous year that was Chattanoogie Shoe
Shine Boy which will be remembered as his trademark song, he records now a
blistering cover of Birmingham Bounce, a song created shortly before by certain
Hardrock Gunter, a visionary songwriter unfortunately ever confined to
confidentiality. Native of Birmingham, the latter worked in the city as disc
jockey, recording songs of an amazing newness
without any success. It was enough to Red Foley adding to
Birmingham Bounce a little stage presence and sound depth to make it one of the
major hits of the year .
