Now I won't go as far as to say that without Sam Phillips Elvis never would have "made" it, but, there's a good chance without Sam Phillips his career would have been a lot different. |

The title you are thinking of is King of Rock and Roll By signing these acts and producing them he birthed the revolution that was rock and roll. As far as why he is called the Father of Rock and Roll. Thats what the links are for. Also when you list your famous people please put hometown if you like. Thanks. Or at least region. |

I can honestly only think of two famous people from Tacoma. Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains and Blair Underwood. Now if you drive north for 45 minutes to Seattle that's a different story...

I don't know how famous any of the local bands are, because I don't pay attention to them at all. The only one that I know is somewhat popular is Coheed and Cambria, though that's not really something to be proud of honestly.
