on Aug 28, 2015
The King of Rock and Roll has always impressed fans with his dreamy good-looks, and hip-shaking moves on stage. It didn’t take long for Elvis Presley to become a household name that would span generations and genres. He has become a lifelong legend, and will always remain the original “King”.
Presley has had a number of hits, but one of the more famous is “Blue Suede Shoes”. The song was recorded by many artists, and Presley was not the first. The rock and roll standard was originally written and recorded by Carl Perkins in 1955, and later performed live by Presley (video below).
Presley performed the hit song three separate times on national television, giving the cover his own spin and flair. It was the first groundbreaking hit from his self-titled 1956 album, and reached #20 on the Billboard charts.
Watch Elvis Presley’s alluring live performance of “Blue Suede Shoes” below.
