That's All Right

That's All Right is a 1946 book written by Arthur Crudup song, which he recorded in the same year and published. However, the piece was a success until the 1954 published version of Elvis Presley. The song was ranked number 112 of the list The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time of the music magazine Rolling Stone.

History

The song was originally recorded in Chicago by the original author Crudup on September 6, 1946 and released as a single on RCA Victor. In the same session, he began his musical almost identical piece that also appeared with other text under the title I Do not Know It as a single. In March 1949, the song under the title That's All Right, Mama ( RCA Victor 50-0000 ) was republished. This single will be out at RCA as the first rhythm-and - blues - plate in the then-new 45 - rpm format and was held in bright orange.

Elvis Presley's version was released as a B- side on July 19, 1954 at Sun Records as number 209 with Blue Moon of Kentucky. The record sold about 20,000 copies and initially reached neither international nor national charts, but was able to prove # 4 on the local charts in Memphis ( Tennessee). Arthur Crudup was indeed known as the author of the piece on the label of Presley's single, but he received U.S. $ 60,000 only in the 60s as royalties. Only in 2004 reached the title of the international charts, namely number 47 in Sweden and number 31 in Australia.

In 1955 appeared a Country version of Marty Robbins, which reached # 7 on the Billboard country singles charts.
