Gotta love this guy! Rock and Roll was pioneered by some pretty cool people.

First song in history to go top 5 in the pop, country & western and R&B charts at the same time. And this man still doesn't get the credit he deserves!

In 1932, rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Carl Perkins was born in Jackson, Tenn. He wrote “Blue Suede Shoes,” which went to No. 2 on the Billboard pop chart and No. 1 on the country chart in 1956. Perkins nearly died in a car accident in March of ’56, and never had a similar hit. Perkins died in Nashville on Jan. 19, 1998, following three strokes.

In 1956, Carl Perkins was injured in a car accident near Wilmington, Del. He was on his way to New York to perform on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” but was forced to spend several months in the hospital. By the time he recovered, Elvis Presley had covered Perkins’ hit, “Blue Suede Shoes,” and Perkins’ career was never the same.

Rockabilly!

I feel Elvis took this song to a completely different level much like how a decade later Jimmy Hendrix did the same thing with Bob Dylan's All Along The Watch Tower.

In 1956, “Blue Suede Shoes” by Carl Perkins entered the R&B chart, the first time a country artist had done that.
