Elvis Presley – That’s All Right

Do you know?

“That’s All Right” is a blues song written and originally performed by the American blues singer Arthur Crudup and recorded in 1946. It was rereleased in early March 1949 by RCA Victor under the title “That’s All Right, Mama”, which was issued as RCA’s first rhythm and blues record on its new 45 rpm single format.

Elvis Presley’s version of “That’s All Right” was recorded on July 5, 1954, and released on July 19, 1954, with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side. It is considered by some music critics to be one of the first rock and roll records.

Presley’s version of the song is faster and more energetic than Crudup’s original, and it features a prominent electric guitar solo by Scotty Moore. Presley’s vocals are also more impassioned and expressive than Crudup’s.

The song was a regional hit in the southern United States, and it helped to launch Presley’s career. It also had a significant impact on the development of rock and roll music, and it is considered to be one of the most important songs in the genre’s history.

“That’s All Right” was ranked number 113 on the 2010 Rolling Stone magazine list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. It has been covered by many other artists, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen.
