I'm a little confused...

I went on the Sun Studios tour when I went to Memphis and the guide said Howlin' Wolf started with Sam Phillips at Sun. So I was wondering if they really told the story of Mr. Phillips, and just changed his name and everything or if there was a real Mr. Chess and somewhere someone was inaccurate with their facts. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just couldnt understand how Howlin' Wolf could get his start in two different studios lol

They completely left out Sam Philips, which is stupid concidering that befor Chess had a studio musicians would record at Sun and Chess would buy the masters...thus Ike Turner's Rocket 88. I'd love to see more bio-pics like this though, not on any one person but a place. I'd love to see a Sun Records movie, ending I guess when Jerry Lee Lewis marries his cousin..
