I don't know about the greatest singer/songwriter in American history, but he was damn good for sure. The song "Pancho and Lefty," recorded by both Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson, is as good as it gets. By the way, Greg, you might consider moving this thread to the off-topic section, as it has nothing to do with flamenco. You may have noticed lately that the Flamenco Police are getting a bit touchy about off-topic threads, perceiving that they are competing with uploads and the like. To leave this thread in the "General" section may give the impression that the enemy is at the gates. Bill

quote:
Carl Perkins is the greatest American songwriter. Carl Perkins was among many who got their start recording at Sam Phillips' Sun Records in Memphis, TN in the mid-1950s. Sun Records was an amazing outfit that produced, recorded, and introduced probably the greatest number of singers at one time (the mid-'50s) than any other studio before or since. What a line-up: Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, and a host of others. Amazing talent from one studio in those early days. Bill
