Before the crown and the spotlight, Elvis got his start at WDIA thanks to Rufus Thomas. Rufus helped introduce a young Elvis Presley to Black music culture and put him on the air at the nation’s first black owned radio station. Memphis didn’t just create stars it connected worlds. 🎙️ Respect the architects. ROYAL BY NATURE @memphyswater #MemphisForgotten #WDIA #RufusThomas | Memphisforgotten
