Elvis Presley recorded "That's All Right" on July 5, 1954, and two weeks later it was out as his debut single, with "Blue Moon of Kentucky" on the other side. The song belonged to bluesman Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, who wrote it, and Presley pushed it out to where the blues meets rockabilly, loose-limbed and grinning.
Several critics have argued it could be the very first rock and roll record, and the honors kept piling up long after the fact. The Grammy Hall of Fame took it in 1998, Rolling Stone placed it at number 112 when it counted down its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2010, and a CD reissue in July 2004, 50 years to the month after the original, reached number three in the UK.
