Carl Perkins: Matchbox (1957)

"Matchbox" was first recorded in 1924 by Ma Rainey. Carl Perkins reworked it 30 years later and turned it into song about a poor boy with no prospects. On the day he recorded this, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash wandered in and formed the Million Dollar Quartet with Perkins.

Fats Domino: Blueberry Hill (1956)

"Blueberry Hill" dates to 1940 and Gene Autry. Louis Armstrong scored a Top 30 hit with it in 1949. Fats Domino made it a classic in 1956. Richie Cunningham adopted it on Happy Days. Vladimir Putin made it his own in 2010.

Buddy Holly: Rave On (1958)

Buddy Holly uses his trademark hiccup style in "Rave On." The song was inspired by the Carl Perkins song "Dixie Fried" from 1956. It was one of six hit singles for Holly in 1958. He would die in February 1959.

Rossini: William Tell Overture (1829)

Rossini premiered the "William Tell Overture" in 1829. The song has been used in many cultural references over time. Bugs Bunny, A Clockwork Orange, and several commercials have used the piece. The song is most identified with The Lone Ranger. Unfortunately, there has not been a good Lone Ranger film since the 1950s.

Elvis Presley: Blue Suede Shows (1956)

This is one of the greatest rock songs ever. Carl Perkins recorded the defining version. It had been covered several times most notably by Elvis. Scotty Moore claimed the band just went along with what Elvis felt as they recorded.

1961 in Music

1961 provided a lull in rock music. Although Elvis returned, the pop scene focused on teen idols. However, change was coming. Motown began to move, Bob Dylan was a year away, and the seeds of the British Invasion were planted when The Beatles made their Cavern Club debut.

Motown scored it's first million seller with "Shop Around" and signed The Supremes. The Beach Boys release their initial single. Frank Sinatra starts Reprise Records. Judy Garland performed at Carnegie Hall. Patsy Cline is seriously injured in an auto accident.
