What musician did the Beatles cover more than anyone else? That's right, the genius above us. This song was one of them. In 68 he went to England and had no idea that the kids knew his songs so well. Then, four young guys wanted to meet them and they treated him as royalty.
Was 1963., when he went to England with Chuck Berry...(Berry played i it much longer on the circuit thanx to blue eyed rr and b thing that was happening from 1961/2 till 1967. Perkins went back home cause the royalties were steadily coming from three his songs being on the Beatles early LPs...They recorder much more of the old rockers for BBC but their main influence in the early,formative years was Buddy Holly...It's very interesting how John got so impressed with Paul playing Eddie Cochran song Twenty Flight Rock but they never recorded any of his material or played his songs on any of live recordings in Hamburg Germany or on BBC Radio shows live..Not even some clear influence by Cochran in their mixed influence which contributed to their original sound...You can hear Motown,you can hear Tchaikovsky,you can hear Greek folk(Girl)India,Buddy Holly,Little Richard,Carl Perkins,Bruce Channel,Chert Atkins,even Elvis you can hear over and over but no Eddie Cochran ever...Is it that because of the guys in UK that overdid it?!, Gene V. is another one ieverpresent even visually 1961/62, Arthur Alexander as well but no Eddie Cochran...
This performance is my favourite by the great Carl Perkins: not one but TWO remarkable solos, and you can see he’s really enjoying himself. In my view, no-one even comes close to this giant of bluesy rockabilly. His music will never die.
The Jazzmaster he is playing is an early production model usually played by one of the house band guitarists. In other THP postings, shout outs are given to Leo Fender, thanking him for the equipment on stage! Fender was usually sitting in the front row ready to let the band and guest stars try whatever latest creation he had brought over from Raymond Ave. To see an actual Fender prototype, look at the Johnny Cash THP footage to see Luther Perkins playing a final prototype Jazzmaster and a 4x10 brown PRE PRODUCTION Concert amp with no faceplate or logo plate . Luther is also pictured at the Fender factory with this same set up, the picture was taken in 1958. The production version Concert Amp was first produced in mid 1959. The THP backline usually featured Standel and Rickenbacker amps, a 4x10 Fender Bassman and at least on the Gene Vincent clips with The Blue Caps, Johnny Meeks is playing through a "High Power" Fender Twin Amp. All of the vocal microphones are the iconic RCA 77 DX models in use from 1937 forward. For all the fans of audio anomalies out there, THP shows were recorded on 16mm kinescope film equipment off site literally "over the air" via antenna as opposed to "off line" in-studio recording. By 1958,video tape did exist but was only available at network facilities, its per foot production costs remained much higher than that of film through the late 1960's. THP was broadcast live by a local NBC affiliate, the recordings seen here were produced for overseas broadcast by AFRTS. Over the air recording methods account for the over modulated audio and/ or video often found on THP clips. The source footage as posted is the cleanest available, the technical shortcomings are explained/disclaimed in the liner notes of THP DVD releases. Perhaps further advances in video restoration may offer better quality in the future.
Remembering Carl Perkins born on April 9, 1932. He was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. A rockabilly great and pioneer of rock and roll, he began his recording career at the Sun Studio, in Memphis, beginning in 1954. Among his best-known songs are "Blue Suede Shoes", "Honey Don't", "Matchbox" and "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby". - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Perkins
beardman, you are a damn fool. Carl was no thief. All music is borrowed. All music is shared. How dare you slander the king of rockabilly, Carl Lee Perkins. How dare you.
Are black musicians responsible for rock and roll? I think so. But, Carl did not steal. There's a distinctive difference between the more heavily blues influenced works of black musicians and what was eventually developed into rockabilly and rock and roll by later (predominantly white) musicians. It's a progression. All things work in this manner. Even civilization. All of these musicians deserve credit for what came to be, what we love and enjoy today.
LMAO. How are black musicians responsible for rock and roll? Chuck Berry and Little Richard came after Elvis and Bill Haley. :'D White people created rock and roll, by combining black rhythm and blues with white country.
Carl doesn't get that hard edged guitar sound that he got on the record. I've never seen a stage performance where he gets that sound, so I take it it was down to Sam Phillips.
Jefferson "stole" it from someone else. Most performers "steal" all the time. It's called "musical tradition. And, I assure you, Perkins never got rich from his music. He didn't have enough sex appeal, yet, all guitar players respect and admire this guy. Or, at least, they should...
CooManTunes HE WAS MERELY COMFORTABLE. HE GAVE EXCESS MONIES TO CHILDREN'S CHARITIES. BUT THIS SONG IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM MATCHBOX BLUES AND ANY OTHER PREVIOUS SONGS WHICH MENTIONS A MATCHBOX. NO ONE OWNED THE PHRASE, "SITTING HERE WONDERING IF A MATCHBOX WOULD HOLD MY CLOTHES".
@@CooManTunes Actually, the Perkins Sun version was #1 on the Billboard pop, country and R&B charts before the Elvis version was released on RCA. Perkins was the first ever to have a song #1 on all three charts.
OMG. I had only ever heard this song done by Ringo before. My opinion or Ringo's performance has just gone from pretty pathetic to outright cr*ppy. Fun observation: as an ex-musician I was cracking up watching his woes with the wires. Man, were they a pain! The man might have fallen!
This thief stole this song from Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Matchbox Blues," and Perkins never gave Jefferson authorship credit. All of these guys stole music from Black musicians and got rich off of it.
Beardman29 You are certainly right. I'm glad Blind Lemon Jefferson's music is available on the internet. (Had to look him up.) He had so many recordings and only lived to be 36. What a wonderful talent. Thanks for the info.
Mercy! You saw "hate" in my post?? Not a hint of ugliness intended. Sure, artists re-do music to make it their own. Tommy Dorsey did "Song of India" - a very shocking, in 1938, jazz-up of a classical piece. In 1969, Jimi Hendrix did an equally shocking "Star-Spangled Banner" and both are now classics. Smile!
Thanx, Joe.! Great comments about Elvis' and Carl Perkins' effect on racism. "Dixie Fried" - Carl inspired Beaverteeth's version (first heard that, recently looked it up) long before The Kentucky Headhunters. Any info on its beginnings? I don't get dixie fried any more, but I do love the song!!
Beardman29 ~ BUT THIS SONG IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM MATCHBOX BLUES AND ANY OTHER PREVIOUS SONGS WHICH MENTION A MATCHBOX. NO ONE OWNED THE PHRASE, "SITTING HERE WONDERING IF A MATCHBOX WOULD HOLD MY CLOTHES". DID YOU KNOW THAT SUB SAHARA HAD NO MUSIC AND NO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS? THEY VERY OCCASIONALLY HUMMED IN A BRIEF DRONE. SO, THEY WOULD HAVE NO MUSIC WITHOUT CONTACT WITH US. ROCKABILLY/ROCK, BLUES, GOSPEL, FOLK, JAZZ/TAP, AND EVEN RAP ARE GAELIC/CELTIC IN ORIGIN. THE CONGOID HYBRIDS OF NORTH AMERICA, AVERAGING 20% CAUCASOID, ARE PART GAELIC. THEY CARRY THAT IN THEIR BONES. THAT'S WHY THEY AMBULATE DIFFERENTLY FROM A FULL CONGOID.
Carl Perkins grew up amongst black cotton field workers in Tennessee. He IS influenced by delta blues and this song has a blues melody that sound similar to Blind Lemons song. Carl Perkins is doing "reserved Chuck Berry," he incorporates blues into western music whilst Chuck Berry incorporated western in blues music. That's how musicology works.

Watch yourself with that edge, kiddo.

The anger management course wasn't a great success, was it?
George had a lot of respect for Carl's guitar work. He influenced their music.

Finally being able to see these icons makes the negative impact of the internet worth it.
Thx for the upload.
He is absolutely great

カール・パーキンㇲ。大好きです🎉
Thing about Carl is he really makes you believe that he's sitting there wondering if a matchbox would hold his clothes.
A true American Original! Go cat Go!
He was a catapult that started a tsunami that met all coasts and has never subdued ❤
Bravo, exact and precise description my man ! couldn't put it better !
I can't get enough of it even though the sound sucks !
Carl is a founding member- that cat did it all.
Good Ole rock and roll
DAMN! NOW THAT'S ROCK AND ROLL

Carl Perkins really felt it like us \(°o°)/!❤️🏆🎖️👑
Classic 12-bar blues structure. 5-note blues riffs.
ROCK'N'ROLL!!!!!!!
great music
Carl Perkins plays a lot of guitars with tremolos, but I never seem him use them. Because He Doesn’t Need Them!!!!!
50s rockabilly > 60/70’s rock, the real golden age of rock
素晴らしい過ぎです!😄👍👍👍
