Blue Suede Shoes, written by Carl Perkins in 1955, was inspired by a dancer Perkins noticed, who was keen to not have his blue suede shoes stepped on. The song became an iconic rockabilly hit, first recorded by Perkins and later by Elvis Presley, helping to define the sound and style of early rock and roll.
