Horsin' Around Led To Elvis's First Hit

Some music history and trivia for you, dear readers.

Back in 1954, Elvis Presley teamed up with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black at Sun Studio in Memphis and made music history.

What many don't know is that their first hit was the result of "horsin' around" in the studio.

WKDQ posted:
It was July 1954 when Elvis Presley was teamed with a couple of local Memphis musicians for a recording session at the Sun record studio. They had finished recording a cover version of a blues tune, "That's All Right". It was all right but Elvis, Bill Black and Scotty Moore needed another song for the flip side of what was going to be their first release. They took a break to think it over but they didn't have much time because their studio time was almost over.
Do you know what was the song that became a hit? Go to the link below to find out. It also contains a couple of audio videos of the song.
