Carl Perkins
Alongside Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins was one
of the key stars crafted at legendary producer Sam Phillips's Sun Studio in the
late 1950s - "the birth place of rock'n'roll". Raised in a poor family of share
croppers in North Tennessee, he was taught guitar as a 10-year-old by an older
black cotton picker and grew up listening to gospel, blues and country music on
local radio stations. A successful audition with Phillips led to him penning the
1955 classic Blue Suede Shoes, a US Number 2 hit for Perkins, which became one
of the most famous rock song...
