==Other locations== In the early 1960s, Phillips Recording also had a short-lived demo studio in [[Tupelo, Mississippi]], as well as a studio in Nashville. The Sam Phillips Recording Service of Nashville was opened in 1961 in the top floor of the Cumberland Building, a former [[Masonic Lodge]] at 315 Seventh Avenue North, next to the [[WSM (AM)|WSM]] radio studio. Notable songs produced at this studio include [[Jerry Lee Lewis]]' 1961 version of "[[What'd I Say]]", [[The Dixiebelles]] 1963 song "(Down at) Papa Joe's", the 1963 version of "[[Yakety Sax]]" that would become [[Boots Randolph]]'s signature song, and [[Ronny & the Daytonas]] hit 1964 song "[[GTO (Ronny & the Daytonas song)|G.T.O]]".<ref name="McNutt1">{{cite web|last=McNutt|first=Randy|title=Ghosts of Nashville's Recording Studios, Part 1|url=http://homeofthehits.blogspot.com/2011/08/ghosts-of-nashvilles-recording-studios.html|website=Home of the Hits|date=7 August 2011|access-date=15 May 2024}}</ref> In 1962, producer [[Billy Sherrill]] was hired to manage the studio at the start of his career. Sherrill moved to [[Epic Records]] the following year, and Phillips sold the studio to [[Monument Records]] and renamed the [[Fred Foster Sound Studio]] in 1964.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Morris|first=Chris|title=Sun Records Founder Sam Phillips, 80, Dies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=axEEAAAAMBAJ&dq=phillips+studio&pg=PA8|magazine=Billboard|date=9 August 2002|access-date=15 May 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|title=Monument Buys Phillips Studio|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=M0UEAAAAMBAJ&dq=phillips+studio&pg=PA1|magazine=Billboard|date=22 February 1964|access-date=15 May 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Guralnick|first=Peter|title=Sam Phillips: The Man Who Invented Rock 'n' Roll|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oFvkBgAAQBAJ&dq=%22fred%20foster%22%20monument&pg=PT502|publisher=Little, Brown and Company|location=New York City|date=2015|isbn=978-0-316-04274-1}}</ref>
