This is my favorite part from the great movie: Walk The Line, where Sam Phillips, played by Dallas Roberts (marvelous acting there!),

is listening to the audition of Johnny Cash and his band. He doesn't like the way they are covering the song of Jimmie Davis, so he gives them another chance, but it is up to them whether they understand what he is talking about; he tells them:

"If you was hit by a truck and you were lyin out in that gutter dyin' and you had time to sing one song...huh...one song people would remember before you're dirt. One song that would let God know what you felt about your time here on earth. One song that would sum you up. You're telling me that's the song you'd sing that same Jimmie Davis tune we hear on the radio all day about your peace within and how it's real and how you're going to shout it, or would you sing something different, something real, something you felt. Because I'm telling you right now, that's the kind of song people want to hear, that's the kind of song that truly saves people. It ain't got nothing to do with believing in God, Mr. Cash, it has to do with believing in yourself."

anyway, Sam Phillips played a huge part in rock and roll music. And this video also shows how he might have "discovered" ELVIS.
