This Carl Perkins recording is from 1956...so quite a bit later..
Earliest real Rock a Billy tune by Carl was GONE GONE GONE from mid 1955
Before that he had Turn Around (country tear jerker)) and Movie Magg is a
bit more like it but hell no .. not like Good Rocking Tonight!
Plus Carl was not cool, balding en moved like a broomstick
