major copyright lawsuit

According to this blog sam phillips and the remix there was a successful law suit against Phillips following his answer song Bear Cat a response to Hound Dog (song) Does anyone know about this?--Salix (talk): 23:35, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have the song, Bear Cat on a record, but noticed when more or less the same stuff appeared on CD the song was not included. Carptrash (talk) 20:20, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the statement

included in the lede:

"the emergence and development of rock and roll and rockabilly as the major form of popular music in the 1950s."
\

makes it sound as if rockabilly was one the major forms of popular music in the 1950s. Which I disagree with. However before I slash & burn the lede i thought I'd see what your thoughts on the subject might be. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 20:24, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

“Sam Phillips Avenue”

“Sam Phillips Avenue” is an honorary designation, not the official name of the street. I replaced it with the address of the building, which is well known to fans. Jwicklatz (talk) 21:44, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Quote

Just ran through famous quote, now it came from Ike Turner. Ike Turner said in an interview, that Dewey played their fresh recording (Rocket 88) and white kids began to buy it like crazy, that's when Sam got the idea: "Well, man, if I get me a white boy to sound like a black boy, then I got a gold mine"... (Holger Peterson "Talking Music: Blues Radio and Roots Music", p.156.). -Luboznaykin (talk) 19:12, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
