PEZZO INSUPERABILE di un mito del rock n roll x me tra i primi 5 al mondo!!!

Hathaway Alfred

Is it normal to have a boner the first time you listen to this song?

Samita Sigala

The King of rockabilly.The very best!!

PROJECT DX

Pure rock and roll one of the greatest.

I don't smoke anything. I just have a personal opinion. If I was to be completely facetious I would say the king of rock n roll was Little Richard.

Not a comparison. An opinion. I always preferred Carl Perkins' voice. They are two completely different artists. I may be in the minority, but it doesn't mean I don't like Elvis. I think a lot of his later stuff was absolutely fantastic too, and his music is great whatever decade you look at.

Jean Leclerc

Yes! I like it. I'm gonna put a Carl Perkins record hop tribut on Saturday 9th March 2013 at the Paris Rock Club (London UK)

Matchbox... true history

Ron Aragon

Yes! Carl Perkins was one of lthe original singers that started with 'RockaBilly' which morphed into the Rock&Roll scene later with his "Blue Suede Shoes". I agree that he did not get the credit he deserves as one of the pioneers.

I agree Garrett. It is about the music. I just feel bad for Carl. I don't think he got the recognition that he deserved.

Garrett Cash

Despite whoever got on the radio first or whatnot, they both made incredible rockabilly music that will continue to enthrall people around the world. In the big picture all this trivial stuff about who's on first doesn't matter. Just enjoy the music.

pkgannon .

Yes, Garret ,.. but what you fail to mention is that Elvis copied that from Perkins when he saw him do in in Jackson, Tenneseee... Elvis just made it on the radio first.

pkgannon .

Do research. Elvis saw Perkins perform at the El Rancho in 1954... and copied what he was doing with a little song called "Blue Moon of Kentucky". Elvis was the pretty boy.. but if you ask me the king of Rock and Roll was Carl Perkins.

Phil Silverman

Well he can play more guitar than Elvis and could write a whole song. But an unfair comparison. Elvis could reach about 3 octvaes and could devour an audience in seconds.

Trews Detroit

This flat out rocks!

Baron Leone

Well I'm a sit here wondrin' with a matchbox on my toes Said I'm a sit here wondrin' with a matchbox on my toes I ain't got no matches, but I got a long, long way to go AW, LET'S ROCK CATS!!!

i'm sorry, i'm obviously not entitled to an opinion.

This was just a truly DUMB thing to say...you really don't know a lot about that era of music, do you????

Garrett Cash

During July 1954, Perkins and his wife heard a new release of "Blue Moon of Kentucky" by Elvis Presley, Scotty Moore and Bill Black on the radio., and Valda told Carl that someone in Memphis understood what he was doing and he should go see him.

Garrett Cash

Every time we listen to great rockabilly artists doesn't mean we have to suddenly start dissing Elvis. Without Elvis rock n roll wouldn't have become as wildly popular as it did. Haven't you ever listened to Elvis at Sun Records? Stuff like Just Because or Mystery Train is just as good or better than this.
