A happy birthday to :Carl Lee Perkins (1932 –1998) was an American rockabilly musician who recorded most notably at Sun Records Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, beginning in 1954. His best known song is "Blue Suede Shoes".According to Charlie Daniels, "Carl Perkins' songs personified the rockabilly era, and Carl Perkins' sound personifies the rockabilly sound more so than anybody involved in it, because he never changed." Perkins' songs were recorded by artists (and friends) as influential as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Johnny Cash, which further cemented his place in the history of popular music. Paul McCartney even claimed that "if there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles."Called "the King of Rockabilly", he was inducted into the Rock and Roll, the Rockabilly, and the Nashville Songwriters Halls of Fame; and was a Grammy Hall of Fame Award recipient.Carl Perkins - Matchbox (1957)

I had the honor of opening for Mr. Perkins back in the early 80's at a club call country roads in the outskirts of Atl. GA. he was a real polite southern gentleman and the best rockabilly guitarist I'd ever seen or heard just ask Harrison or Springsteen or the greatest voice according to Elvis Mr. Roy Orbison How lucky I was to have these men to learn from God bless them ( if there's a rock and roll heaven well then you know they got a hell of a band ) if you believe in forever................
