"Blue Suede Shoes' by Carl Perkins, Sun 234, was the biggest selling record ever released on Sun Records. That tells you everything you need to know, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Charlie Rich were also on Sun. The biggest record on the label, however, was "Blue Suede Shoes" by Carl Perkins. Just go by the numbers.

Well guess what, this is 2011 not 1950... Elvis covered it.

@Elvisbutiken The song was NEVER covered by Elvis. The term covered had a different meaning in the 1950's. Elvis sang his own version of the song. But a cover in the 1950's did NOT mean singing a song previously recoded like it does now. A cover of Blue Suede shoes would be Boyd Bennet's version, also from 1956.

@MultiFets The song was written in late 1955, recoded December 1955, and released Jan 01 1956. Elvis recorded the song several months later.

@navyseal890 But Johnny Cash never said, claimed, or even hinted he wrote Blue Suede Shoes. By the way I love Johnny Cash, but he stole Folsom Prison Blues. Years later, Cash lost the court case against him, and had to pay over 8 million dollars to the writer of the song, and had to share all future residual income from the song. The original song was Crescent City Blues.
this song really makes me want to go buy and pair of blue suede shoes... idk what id do with them... but i want them.

I've loved this song for years. I didn't know Elvis copied this. Who the hell is Elvis?
