Sam Phillips' SUN RECORDS was the place of the birth of Rock & Roll. CARL PERKINS, JERRY LEE LEWIS, ELVIS PRESLEY et al were the founding fathers of Rock & Roll. On December 4, 1956 Carl Perkins recorded a song called "Matchbox." After recording "Your True Love," Perkins's father Buck suggested that he do "Matchbox Blues". Buck knew only a few of the lines of the song, particularly a verse from one of the 1927 recordings by Blind Lemon Jefferson, which he had likely heard either in the cotton fields or on the radio.
As Perkins sang the few words his father had suggested, Jerry Lee Lewis, who was at that time a session piano player at Sun Studios, began a restrained boogie-woogie riff. Carl began picking out a melody on the guitar and improvised lyrics.
Perkins maintained that he had never heard Jefferson's "Match Box Blues" when he recorded "Matchbox." Jefferson's song is about a mean spirited woman; Perkins' was about a lovelorn "poor boy" with limited prospects.
PERKINS version was covered by THE BEATLES in 1964 on their album "Something Else"!
