Blue Suede Shoes is a rock-and-roll standard written and first recorded by Carl Perkins in 1955. It is considered one of the first rockabilly records, incorporating elements of blues, country and pop music of the time. Perkins' original version of the song was on the Cashbox Best Selling Singles list for 16 weeks and spent two weeks at the number two position.

Carl Perkins appeared on The Perry Como Show on Saturday May 26th 1956 singing his big hit Blue Suede Shoes. This was just about 3-weeks or so after the song reached it's peak on the Billboard Pop Charts at number 2. Blue Suede Shoes reached the number 1 position on the Country Charts as well as reaching the number 2 position on the R&B charts. Up until this time, no other song in the history of recorded music had ever reached such a high positon in all three charts.
