King Curtis stepped into Memphis and stirred up a sound the world wasn’t ready for. They didn’t call it trap, funk, rock, or blues back then he called it the “Memphis Stew.” It was a recipe only this city could cook Curtis didn’t just play music he bottled the essence of Memphis. He knew this city wasn’t a genre… it was a flavor. And once you tasted it, nothing else hit the same. 💧 History runs deep so does our water. Tap into Memphys. @memphyswater | Memphisforgotten
