Samuel Cornelius Phillips (January 5, 1923 – July 30, 2003) was an American musician, businessman, record executive, music producer, and disc jockey who played an important role in the emergence and development of rock and roll and rockabilly as the major form of popular music in the 1950s. He was a producer, label owner, and talent scout throughout the 1940s and 1950s.
He was the founder of both Sun Studio and Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee. Through Sun, Phillips discovered such recording talent as Howlin' Wolf, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. The height of his success culminated in his launching of Elvis Presley's career in 1954. He is also associated with several other noteworthy rhythm and blues, country, and rock and roll musicians of the period. Phillips sold Sun in 1969. He was an early investor in the Holiday Inn chain of hotels. He also advocated racial equality and helped break down racial barriers in the music industry.

Sam Phillips (musician)
Sam Phillips (born Leslie Ann Phillips January 28, 1962) is an American singer, songwriter, composer and actress. She began her career in the contemporary Christian music industry but, uncomfortable with that image and industry, she re-branded herself as "Sam"—transitioning into the mainstream market after meeting producer T-Bone Burnett. She has released eight albums including the critically acclaimed Martinis and Bikinis in 1994. She has also composed scores for the television shows Gilmore Girls and Bunheads.
Early life
Phillips was born in Glendale, California.
Career
She began her musical career in the early 1980s, singing background vocals for Christian artists Mark Heard and Randy Stonehill. Phillips was signed to a solo contract with Myrrh Records – under her given name – and recorded four Christian pop albums, Beyond Saturday Night, Dancing with Danger, Black and White in a Grey World and, finally, The Turning, which teamed her with producer and future husband, T-Bone Burnett. Several became Top 10 singles on Christian radio and Myrrh records promoted her as "the Christian Cyndi Lauper". Phillips was never comfortable with this image, and it was a bone of contention between her and her label. She began using the name "Sam" professionally in 1988 when she left Myrrh Records and signed with Virgin Records in order to distance herself from her prior persona.
WKRK-FM
WKRK-FM (92.3 FM) – branded Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan – is a commercial sports radio station licensed to Cleveland Heights, Ohio, serving Greater Cleveland and much of surrounding Northeast Ohio. Owned by CBS Radio, WKRK-FM is the Cleveland affiliate for CBS Sports Radio; a co-flagship station for the Cleveland Browns Radio Network; and the radio home of Jeff Phelps, and Dustin Fox. WKRK-FM also airs coverage of the Cleveland Gladiators.
The WKRK-FM studios are located at the Halle Building in Downtown Cleveland, while the station transmitter resides in the Cleveland suburb of Warrensville Heights. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WKRK-FM broadcasts over three HD Radio channels, and is available online.
History
1940s–50s
Founded by Sam R. Sague, the station debuted on December 19, 1947 on 95.3 MHz as WSRS-FM and simulcast sister station WSRS 1490 AM, also licensed to Cleveland Heights. WSRS AM/FM billed itself as the "Community Information Voice of Cleveland". On February 1, 1959, Friendly Broadcasting of Columbus assumed control of WSRS 1490 AM and 95.3 FM from Sam R. Sague, switching call letters, licenses, studios and facilities. The AM and FM stations took on separate identities: WJMO took over the former WSRS offices at 2156 Lee Road in Cleveland Heights, and WSRS-FM became WJMO-FM, later WCUY. The 1540 and 106.5 frequencies were sold off to Tuschman Broadcasting Company, with the AM station becoming WABQ while the FM station instead signed on as WABQ-FM.
KFXX (AM)
KFXX (1080 kHz) known as "1080 The FAN" is an AM radio station broadcasting from Portland, Oregon. It is owned by Entercom Portland LLC and runs sports radio programming. The studios are located south of downtown Portland, and the transmitter site is in the Northeast side along the Columbia River. KFXX is a class B radio station. By day, it runs the maximum power for commercial AM stations in the U.S., 50,000 watts, audible around much of Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington. But at night, because 1080 is a clear channel frequency, KFXX must reduce power to 9000 watts, so it does not interfere with KRLD in Dallas and WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut, the two dominant Class A stations on the frequency.
Programming
KFXX is an affiliate of ESPN Radio but mostly runs its own local shows on weekdays. Its sister station, 910 KMTT, carries most of the ESPN Radio line up. KFXX starts the day with "Dusty and Cam" from 6 to 9 a.m. At 9, it carries Colin Cowherd from the Fox Sports Radio Network. (Cowherd had been an ESPN Radio host for many years.) At noon, KFXX airs "Dirt and Sprague." "Primetime with Isaac Ropp and Jason 'Big Suke' Scukanec" is heard on weekday afternoons from 3 to 7 p.m. The first three hours of "Primetime" are simulcast on Comcast SportsNet Northwest. After 7 p.m. weeknights, KFXX runs programming from ESPN Radio.
The Fan (1981 film)
The Fan is a 1981 American horror film directed by Edward Bianchi, and starring Lauren Bacall, Michael Biehn, James Garner and Maureen Stapleton. It was written by Priscilla Chapman and John Hartwell, based on a novel of the same name by Bob Randall. The plot follows a famous stage and film actress named Sally Ross (Bacall) who is stalked by a violent, deranged fan (Biehn), who begins killing those around her.
Plot
Douglas Breen (Michael Biehn), a deranged young New York City record salesman, writes a rambling letter to stage and film star Sally Ross (Lauren Bacall). Having sent multiple obsessive and borderline-sexual letters to Ross, her assistant, Belle (Maureen Stapleton) has been intercepting them, responding herself and asking him to stop. Douglas feels ignored, and becomes determined to meet with Sally and consummate "his love" for her.
Sally has recently taken a job in a musical stage production, and has been reconnecting with her ex-husband, Jake (James Garner), who is in town filming a movie. After Belle receives another explicit sexual letter from Douglas, she brings it to Sally's attention; Sally scolds her for being rude to the fan, and brushes it off, saying she's had to deal with many fans who have had extensive "fantasies" about her. Meanwhile, Douglas begins stalking Sally, sitting outside of her apartment building, and following her to her stage rehearsals. He decides to hand-deliver a letter to her while she is rehearsing for the musical, but he watches the man at the studio give the letter to Belle, whom he realizes is the assistant who has been writing the nasty responses to him.

Hole In My Pocket
by: Sam PhillipsMy life fell through a hole in my pocket
I lost my solitude, I lost my balance
I lost my reverence and voice
Pieces of soap building up a mountain
Moving seeds of doubt
My life fell through a hole in my pocket
I can't see anything
Only this moment
I hear my heart breaking into faith
Pieces of soap building up a mountain
Moving seeds of doubt
