In 1956, Elvis Presley's version of 'Blue Suede Shoes' reached number 20 on the Billboard Top 100 chart and number 1 on the Billboard Country chart. The song was originally written and recorded by Carl Perkins, but Elvis popularized it with his energetic and iconic performance during his appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show. 'Blue Suede Shoes' became one of the defining songs of the rock and roll movement and solidified Elvis' status as the King of Rock and Roll.
