April 19 - Poplar Marker

Poplar Tunes was one of the record stores in Memphis to sell rock and roll records to customers, and to supply music for jukeboxes. Many young musicians signed autographs here. Also Elvis came here often after school or of his home to listen to music. The picture shows Elvis Presley at the store in 1957. A Historic Marker will be placed this August on 308 Poplar Avenue.
