Originally known as the Foggy River Boys, the Jordanaires got their start in the early 1940s. By 1949 they were members of the Grand Ole Opry and recording for Capitol Records. While just starting out at Sun Records in 1954, Elvis approached the group after a gospel show and said that if he ever signed with a major record label, he wanted them as his backup singers. Once Elvis signed with RCA in 1959, the Jordanaires became a part of almost every recording session with Elvis from 1956 until 1969.

Colin Escott is the foremost authority on Sun Records. He first wrote the company's history in 1975, Catalyst: The Sun Records Story with Martin Hawkins. This book was revised and expanded several times since, most notably as Good Rockin' Tonight: Sun Records and the Birth of Rock 'n' Roll in 1991. Nice detail: the foreword for that edition was written by Peter Guralnick.
Colin Escott has published several other volumes on the early days of country music, including a biography of Hank Williams and The Grand Ole Opry: The Making of an American Icon.
