Suck it, Jackie Brenston: "'That's All Right Mama' by Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup is the world's oldest rock and roll song, according to Southeastern Louisiana University rock historian Joseph Burns, who also thinks this song could contain the first ever guitar solo break."
First heard this song performed by the Beatles (now on iTunes!) on the Live At The BBC double album. Then Elvis, obviously. Great song.
For me, it was Gram Parsons.
Ike Turner would not like this.
