Cubs Kill Record Pioneer
Sam Phillips, founder of Sun Records, passed away.
"We're just trying to celebrate his life at this point. When he did it, it was considered a national disgrace," said Knox Phillips of his father's legendary recordings of black and rock and roll musicians. "Now it's considered a national treasure."
Phillips said his father fell ill Wednesday while watching a Chicago Cubs baseball game and was taken to St. Francis Hospital.
Must have been Kerry Wood giving up the grand slam to Alfonzo. :-)
