Tonight’s installment is titled “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” and covers the 10-year stretch from 1953 to 1956. That means it covers Ray Charles and his foray into country (hence the episode’s title), as well as Elvis Presley’s explosion onto the music charts – and The Ed Sullivan Show – in 1956. And that means this is the night Ken Burns and company cover the history of Sun Records in Memphis, as well as the ascendance of Patsy Cline. In other words, this is a jam-packed, music-filled, absurdly talent-heavy installment. Check local listings.
