Carl doesnt get the credit he deserves.

@spacepatrolman Carl did not have a neck injury from the auto accident. He had a broken collarbone. His older brother Jay is the one whose neck was broken. Carl was only layed up for 5-weeks, then went back out on the road to promote his song. Elvis never ran with Blue Suede Shoes. Carl's version got to number-2 on the Billboard charts. Elvis's version which was released on an EP with 3-other songs only got to number- 20 on Billboard. Carl's verson sold close to 2-millions copys in 1956.

You can hear Perkin's influence in a lot of early Beatle's songs.

I think Elvis sang it better, but Carl played it better. (I love Scotty Moore, but...)
