70 years ago He Was All Right



19-year-old singer and actor Elvis Presley aka The King of Rock and Roll records his first commercial single 'That's All Right' in Sun Records, 706 Union Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee, United States.

'That's All Right' is a song written and originally performed and recorded on 6 September 1946 by blues singer Arthur Crudup. Crudup had to wait until the 1960s when he received an estimated 60.000 $ in back royalties. The Presley version was released on 19 July 1954 and considered as the birth of Rock'n'Roll by Rolling Stone magazine.
