Lewis denies it, but Jerry Lee is on piano! left hand only...

The Beatles recorded this with Ringo on leads and I think Carl was in the studio ...

Great song !

@airplaneguy53 And as you probably know Paul McCartney did a duet with Carl Perkins on Paul's "Tug of War" album, the song being "Get It". Great album. Wikipedia has an article on that album by the way, the article entitled "Tug of War (Paul McCartney album)".

@airplaneguy53 Actually I like the way the Beatles did it with Ringo singing, but this is better. Carl should be better known today.

@MrDeejay45 But The Beatles only covered songs on the BBC album, bits of Rubber Soul and a few on Please Please Me. Their actual song writing was miles above Carl Perkins, as much as I love him. magine Carl writing an epic like Strawberry Fields- madness!

@MrDeejay45 ...That is, until about 1965, when they released Rubber Soul

[MrRockeno]

Thanks for posting.

This is Carl Perkins one of the finest originators of 50's Rockabilly music, not some second rate imitator... Let's get this straight, the Beatles are a 60's boy band who sang bad versions of everybody else's songs.

In an unisued version of this song from this session Jerrys playing is more clearly heard. That's also why he(Jerry) is on the Million Dollar Quartet session, because he was playing on Carls recordings that day. The sessison was in fact for "Matchbox", so in fact later after this was recorded Elvis dropped by.

Yes, records are so much fun too play! It's also just as much fun to find records at garage sales and thrift stores. I would recomend a crosley. They have great sound quality, readily available low price parts that are (for the most part) interchangable, great prices on players, and nice old-style styling.
