The Sound Of Memphis On 'Unsung Heroes'

From R&B to country, the music business was profoundly influenced by the capable artistry of Chips Moman. Starting out as a guitarist, songwriter and producer for Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin and Solomon Burke, he turned to pop and then country as he helped revive the career of Elvis Presley before working with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash.

Join Tom Engelmann as he salutes this overlooked musical giant on another edition of “Unsung Heroes, Influential but Overlooked Masters of Modern Music.” Listen Monday, October 17, at 8:00 p.m. on your radio or online.

Tom Engelmann produces "Unsung Heroes, Influential but Overlooked Masters of Modern Music." The series features biographical sketches and the music of artists who often work behind the scenes or in support of major musicians.
