Carl Perkins appeared on The Perry Como Show on Saturday May 26th 1956 singing his big hit Blue Suede Shoes. This was just about 3-weeks or so after the song reached it's peak on the Billboard Pop Charts at number 2. For you Country Music fans out there, Blue Suede Shoes did reach the number 1 position on the Country Charts as well as reaching the number 2 position on the R&B charts. Up until this time, no other song in the history of recorded music had ever reached such a high positon in all three charts.
