Perkins died at 10:30 a.m. at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital from complications related to three strokes he had suffered in November and December, family spokesman Albert Hall said. Perkins was 65. The tall, broad-shouldered Perkins was famed as one of the proponents of "rockabilly," a cross of rhythm-and-blues and country music that came out of Sun Records in Memphis, Tennessee, in the mid-1950s. He also wrote some of the top hit records in rock 'n' roll and country music. A near-fatal traffic accident in 1956, coupled with the rise of Presley, kept him from becoming a bigger solo star. Perkins wrote and recorded the 1956 smash "Blue Suede Shoes," which Presley later recorded. Perkins' version sold 2 million itself before Presley's rendition also became a hit. Perkins also wrote the rockabilly standard "Dixie Fried" and the songs "Honey Don't," "Matchbox" and "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby," which were later covered by the Beatles. His relationship with the Beatles lasted long after their breakup in 1970. Perkins dueted with Paul McCartney on the country ballad "Get It," a song off McCartney's 1982 album, "Tug of War." On the same record, he played rhythm guitar on the McCartney-Stevie Wonder hit duet, "Ebony and Ivory." Beatles George Harrison and Ringo Starr appeared with him in a 1986 cable TV special in London, "Carl Perkins and Friends: A Rockabilly Session." He met the Beatles in 1964 during a British concert tour with another rock 'n' roll pioneer, Chuck Berry. About his influence on the Beatles, he said in a 1985 Associated Press interview, "They advanced it (guitar playing) so much. That rockabilly sound wasn't as simple as I thought it was." In another interview, he said the Beatles and Rolling Stones saved rockabilly in the mid-1960s when it was in danger of dying in the United States. "They put a nice suit on rockabilly," Perkins said. "They never really strayed from the simplicity of it, they just beautified it." ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD250E.27B512B0 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Bryant To: "leftover@lists.colorado.edu" Subject: Seeking 10/3-4/97, Georgia DATS Date: Mon, 19 Jan 1998 17:44:18 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit hey, i am looking for 10-3,Athens and 10-4,Atlanta on HQ DAT, preferably soundboard.
