in his latest On Air in Suffolk column, broadcaster Stephen Foster reflects on a memorable visit to Memphis.
Even if the only thing Memphis had given the world was Elvis Presley it would still be held in very high esteem by music lovers.
The city’s most famous resident certainly put the place on the pop music map but many years earlier Beale Street had helped give birth to the blues, a genre that received much airplay on the legendary Memphis radio station WDIA which was the first broadcaster in the United States programmed entirely for a black audience.
