Presley's version was recorded on July 5, 1954,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elvis Presley records "That’s All Right (Mama)" )〕 and released on July 19, 1954 with "Blue Moon of Kentucky" as the B-side. It is #113 on the 2010 ''Rolling Stone'' magazine list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". In July 2004, exactly 50 years after its first issuing, the song was released as a single in the United Kingdom, where it debuted and peaked at Number 3. ==History== The song was written by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, and originally recorded by him in Chicago on September 6, 1946, as "That's All Right". Some of the lyrics are traditional blues verses first recorded by Blind Lemon Jefferson in 1926. Crudup's recording was released as a single on RCA Victor 20-2205, but was less successful than some of his previous recordings. At the same session, he recorded a virtually identical tune with different lyrics, "I Don't Know It", which was also released as a single (RCA Victor 20-2307). In early March 1949, the song was rereleased under the title, "That's All Right, Mama" (RCA Victor 50-0000), which was issued as RCA's first rhythm and blues record on their new 45 rpm single format, on bright orange vinyl.〔Dawson, Jim, and Steve Propes, ''What Was The First Rock 'n' Roll Record ?'' (Faber and Faber, 1992), ISBN 0-571-12939-0〕 Elvis Presley's version was recorded in July 1954 Its catalogue number was Sun 209. The label reads "That's All Right" (omitting "Mama" from the original title), and names the performers as Elvis Presley, Scotty and Bill. Arthur Crudup was credited as the composer on the label of Presley's single, but Crudup had to wait until the 1960s when he received an estimated $60,000 in back royalties.〔Gray, Michael (2006), ''The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia'' p. 165.〕 Crudup used lines in his song that had been present in earlier blues recordings, including Blind Lemon Jefferson's 1926 song "That Black Snake Moan".〔 A country music version by Marty Robbins peaked at number seven on the ''Billboard'' Hot Country Singles chart in 1955. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「That's All Right」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
