Song of the Week #5 – “That’s All Right”
Written by admin on June 7, 2010 – 6:01 am -| Elvis Presley’s very first single, “That’s All Right,” is this week’s song of the week.
This is one of the most important songs ever recorded. Nineteen-year-old Elvis Presley, with sidemen Scotty Moore (guitar) and Bill Black (bass), were on a break during a studio session when they began improvising on an old blues song by Arthur Crudup. Producer Sam Phillips was amazed by what he heard and asked them to back up and try it again. The result was a new and unique sound which became known as rockabilly. |
