=== "Rocket 88" ===
After the failure of Phillips Records, Phillips began working closely with other record labels such as [[Chess Records]] and [[Modern Records]], providing demo recordings for them and recording master tapes for their artists.<ref name="AZ153" /> It was during this time that Phillips recorded what many consider to be the first rock and roll song, "[[Rocket 88]]" by [[Jackie Brenston]] and his Delta Cats, who were actually [[Ike Turner]] and his [[Kings of Rhythm]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/13/arts/music/13turner.html|title=Ike Turner, Musician and Songwriter in Duo With Tina Turner, Dies at 76|last=Pareles|first=Jon|date=2007-12-13|work=The New York Times|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://msbluestrail.org/blues-trail-markers/rocket-88|title=Rocket "88"|website=Mississippi Blues Trail|access-date=2019-12-20}}</ref><ref name="Victor399" /> Some biographers have suggested that it was Phillips' inventive creativeness that led to the song's unique sound, but others put it down to the fact that the amplifier used on the record was broken, leading to a "fuzzy" sound.<ref name="AZ153" /> The Sun Studio tour lends credence to the latter, with the tour guide saying the amplifier was stuffed with wads of newspaper.
