We’re really happy to pay homage to the great Elvis Presley, who passed away suddenly on this date in 1977. Elvis was taken away from us much too soon, but his music and incredible talent will remain forever.
Let’s continue our celebration of “The King” by watching Country singer Scotty McCreery pay tribute to the icon by singing one of Elvis’ first songs, That’s Alright Mama.
That’s Alright Mama was written and originally performed by blues singer Arthur Crudup. Yet it’s best known as the first single recorded and released by Elvis Presley. Presley recorded the song on July 5, 1954, and released it July 19, 1954 with Blue Moon of Kentucky as the B-side. The song is ranked #113 on the 2010 Rolling Stone magazine list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.“
