Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (August 24, 1905 — March 28, 1974) was a delta blues singer and guitarist. He is best known outside blues circles for writing songs later covered by Elvis Presley and dozens of other artists, such as "That's All Right" (1946)[1], "My Baby Left Me" and "So Glad You're Mine."

  • Arthur we were close. I pllayed drums for him and took some nice portraits. one now on FaceBook marketplace has the bigger story. am leading it seems the campaign to get the FATHER OF ROCK & ROLL inducted into the Rock Hall. Should have his name on the door. All his blues classics covered by every one, opened door for Elvis (and black rockers thereby (Little Richard Chuck Berry) , NEVER GOT ONE ROYALTY IN HIS LIFE, DIED POOR. My own album named for him never got one royalty 3x released too.
