Carl Perkins Sings "Blue Suede Shoes," Talks Elvis | Letterman

[@TimCarrier-g1k]

Carl was a true class act. He is so humble about his incredible talent.

[@TSUTENKAKU007]

He was super, down to earth and excellent singer as guitarist. A true legend.

[@sbblakey]

Everyone who watches this MUST watch that All-Star-studded concert mentioned at the end. One of the greatest rock-and-roll shows EVER put together, and it's on KZbin - Rockabilly Session with Carl Perkins and Friends

[@Donnie324]

I seen that one and some more he and they all were good.

[@jmikeperkins]

Carl was the nicest rock and roll legend you could ever hope to meet. I spent a little time with him and just loved the man. He was so humble and kind. A true Southern Gentleman. God rest his soul.

[@scottmasson3039]

You can tell he was an angel of a human.

[@danielrice7234]

I've heard of Mr. Perkins my whole life but never heard him interviewed before. What a Southern gentleman and Dave did a nice job

[@markbirchette8740]

Rock In Peace Carl...🙏🎸

[@rikster6753]

What would it have been blast if Elvis was sitting right there next to Carl. Well it was not in the stars so I can only imagine what fun they would have togheter. Like Dave said, Carl is a legend. I loved the Dave Letterman show and this is a good example why. ❤

[@simonbrown5583]

Thanks for the great music, I'm 53 love this bloke

[@davidspinney2664]

I love these kind of interviews. to me Dave is a legend as well

[@bfranklin3777]

Class guy. I have a new found respect for him.

[@Pluvio624]

Amazing man all the way around!

[@kstepko]

When I was in grade five, I memorized the words to “Blue Suede Shoes”, and remember entertaining my class with an off-key rendition while our teacher was out of the room.

[@AntonioBarsanio]

Great song, Elvis didn't want to record it because he was such a great friend. Carl was at the hospital recovering from a car accident and in the end Elvis had to record it, reluctantly that is. We all wish we had loyal friends like that!

[@Donnie324]

I've heard different stories why he wrote Blue Suede Shoes but i believe his story. Carl and Elvis was my favorite.

[@michellebabicz2143]

Guitar, talent, swagger & a great song. TAKE a page, kids!

[@retrobilly1719]

Awesome Legend!Saw Him in Concert at Elvis Week 97

[@jeffsilverman6104]

Carl was a natural performer. He embodied the Rockabilly that he was born with. All class.

[@Donnie324]

I've never heard Carl say anything bad about anyone. He was a good humble man. Music and all. Then turned to God.

[@mircovannucchi6600]

Born to stay on stage ! Rip. MV

[@RyanConnell5150]

46 years ago to the day this was uploaded (August 16th 2023) Elvis passed away aged 42.

[@privatepenguin3137]

Nice job making the connection. I knew a new Letterman clip had to be linked to death somehow 🤣

[@garymorris1856]

Carl was amazing!

[@Armakk]

So that's where Dennis Farina got his look. Legend

[@Roberto-lu6kc]

Fantastic.....👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@blitztim6416]

I didn’t know he was there when the Beatles recorded his songs. 😮 George sure admired Carl and was influenced by his style.

[@thefonzkiss]

Great wig!
