In 1987, British independent television broadcast ''Love Me Tender,'' an all-star tribute to Elvis Presley, two days before the 10th anniversary of the singer's death. The program, taped before an invited audience of 400 in Nottingham, featured such artists as Boy George, Roger Daltrey, Robert Plant, Kim Wilde, Carl Perkins and Duane Eddy performing Elvis songs. Here is the great Carl Perkins performing "That's alright mama"

This song is based on Blind Lemon Jeffersons "Matchbox Blues". Most of the lyrics were improvised spontaneously by Carl Perkins during the recording, as he didn't knew Jeffersons Song. Jerry Lee Lewis is playing piano on this song.

A Rare Track by - Carl perkins recorded in 1956..

This Sun #224 is carl Perkins first issue on the Sun label (july 1955) GONE GONE GONE This is one of the absolutely earliest examples of Carl making a fantastic rockabilly masterpiece!! Gone Gone Gone, the tongue-in-cheek insults in that song must have been refined in the Jackson TN bar-rooms where the verses first tried out. The rompin, stompin' guitar workout Carl distinctive employed behind his vocals is a very powerful force. The solos, the shouts of encouragement to himself and the others and the scat singing are all typical Perkins rockabilly trademarks. A force so extreme and rockin' that it maked this tune to the most pounding rockabilly that ever came out from the Sun vaults! BOP TIL U DROP!!!

Carl Perkins - Blue Suede Shoes Well, it's one for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready, Now go, cat, go. But don't you step on my blue suede shoes. You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes. Well, you can knock me down, Step in my face, Slander my name All over the place. Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh, Honey, lay off of my shoes Don't you step on my Blue suede shoes. You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes. You can burn my house, Steal my car, Drink my liquor From an old fruitjar. Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh, Honey, lay off of my shoes Don't you step on my blue suede shoes. You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes. www.imdb.com en.wikipedia.org

December 4th 2006. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, RCA releases 'The Complete Million Dollar Quartet.' At last we have the missing 12 minutes, along with the songs being in the correct order and with audio restoration by expert Kevan Budd. In this video .... Jesus Walked That Lonesome Valley Previous releases had an edit which removed a sensational section with Jerry Lee Lewis doing a falsetto against Elvis singing the lead... I Shall Not Be Moved There is however no audio proof that Johnny Cash musically participated. Cash's vocal is SO distinctive that at some point it would have to be obvious. Smokey Joe Baugh is the deep voice you can hear on 'I Shall No Be Moved' and Elvis' girlfriend even mentions, "This Rover Boys Trio" implying that only 3 stars were present " Million Dollar Quartet" is the name given to recordings made on Tuesday December 4, 1956 in the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. The recordings were of an impromptu jam session among Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. The Complete Million Dollar Session provides a rare post-Sun glimpse of the King momentarily His singing, especially on the gospel numbers, is natural and relaxed, minus some of the trademark mannerisms of his official RCA releases. Obviously comfortable in the company of his then heirs apparent, Presley also speaks freely between numbers, dropping a few minor revelations in the process."
