From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"That's All Right (Mama)" is the name of the first single released by Elvis Presley. It was recorded in July 1954, and released on July 19, 1954.
Song information
"That's All Right (Mama)" was written by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. Combined with " Blue Moon Of Kentucky " as the B-side, its catalogue number was Sun 209. The label reads "That's All Right" (omitting (Mama) from the original title), and names the performers as Elvis Presley, Scotty & Bill .
Trivia
While his first single, "That's All Right (Mama)" is the second of the 23 titles Elvis recorded for Sun Records.
When the song was initially played on the radio, many listeners called the station to request it again and again, and due to the amount of callers, the title was played all night.
In 2001, legendary producer Ahmet Ertegun assembled an album titled Good Rockin' Tonight: The Legacy of Sun Records (a companion to the American Masters documentary of the same name). Included is Paul McCartney's rendition of "That's All Right". McCartney recorded his version of the song in New York City using former Presley backup musicians Scotty Moore on guitar and D. J. Fontana on drums.
The song received a Grammy and, in 2005, was named by Rolling Stone magazine as the record that started the rock revolution. It was also ranked #112 on the magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
In July 2004, more than 1000 radio stations celebrated rock music's 50th birthday by playing "That's All Right (Mama)."
A young Elvis Presley, portrayed by Tyler Hilton is shown singing a more up-tempo version of the song in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line.
Led Zeppelin sometimes worked the song into their Whole Lotta Love medley during live shows, as demonstrated on BBC Sessions.
Lyrics for That’s All Right, Mama
performed by Elvis Presley
(Arthur Crudup)
Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right mama, just anyway you do
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Mama she done told me,
Papa done told me too
'Son, that gal your foolin' with,
She ain't no good for you'
But, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
I'm leaving town, baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging 'round your door
Well, that's all right, that's all right.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
