Cheap Car Rental MemphisThe legendary birthplace of the blues, Memphis is a city that sings with life and energy. From the early days when WC Handy completed the first published blues tune, through to the Elvis era (Sun Studios on Union Avenue is the place where Elvis made his first recording) Memphis has always been a place linked with defining moments in musical history. Down at the famous Beale Street you can still visit some throbbing live music bars. Memphis also has another, more sobering claim to fame. Martin Luther King was shot in Memphis in 1968 in the Lorraine Motel. The motel has now been converted into the fascinating National Civil Rights Museum, which celebrates King’s life and offers exhibits and information about the history of the civil right |
