"That's All Right" is a song written and originally performed by the American blues singer Arthur Crudup, and recorded in 1946. It was rereleased in early March 1949 by RCA Victor under the title "That's All Right, Mama", which was issued as RCA's first rhythm and blues record on its new 45 rpm single format.[1]
"That's All Right" is best known as the debut single recorded and released by Elvis Presley. Presley's version was recorded on July 5, 1954,[2] and released on July 19, 1954, with "Blue Moon of Kentucky" as the B-side. It was ranked number 112 on the 2010 Rolling Stone magazine list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".[3] Several critics have cited Presley's version as a candidate for the first rock and roll record.[4] In July 2004, exactly 50 years after it was first released, the song was re-released as a CD single in several countries, including the United Kingdom, where it reached number three.
In 1998, the 1954 recording by Elvis Presley was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[5]
