"That's All Right" was originally written and recorded by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup in 1946. It was re-released in 1949 as "That's All Right, Mama" - which was RCA's first R&B record on their new 45 RPM single format.
Elvis Presley's version was recorded on July 5, 1954, and was released two-weeks later as his first single. It sold 20,000 copies - not enough to chart nationally but enough to reach #4 on the local Memphis charts.
