"Blue Suede Shoes" is a rock and roll standard written and first recorded by American singer, songwriter and guitarist Carl Perkins in 1955. It is considered one of the first rockabilly records, incorporating elements of blues, country and pop music of the time.
It was Sun's first million seller and it peaked at number four in Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
Perkins' original version of the song appeared on the Cashbox Best Selling Singles list for 16 weeks and spent two weeks at the number two position.
Elvis Presley then recorded his version "Blue Suede Shoes" 2nd in 1956 and it appears as the opening track of his eponymous debut album Elvis Presley (US 1956) (opens in a new tab).

Recorded: 19 December 1955 at Sun Studios in Memphis, TN.
Released: December 1955 or 1 January 1956.
