    He was the King of Rockabilly, and one of rock and roll's true pioneers. A groundbreaking guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Carl Perkins inspired countless musicians in country, rock, and pop music. Now acclaimed music writer Jeff Apter recounts Carl Perkins's remarkable life story—the triumphs, tragedies, and career highlights that include some of the most pivotal moments in music history. 
     
     
     
    Born in Tennessee to poor sharecroppers, Carl grew up listening to gospel and country music, learned blues guitar from a fellow field hand, and started writing songs at age fourteen. He plied his trade in rowdy honky-tonks, performing with his brothers before beginning his recording career at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis. It was there that Carl became a member of the fabled Million Dollar Quartet, alongside Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis. In 1955, he wrote and recorded "Blue Suede Shoes," the first record by a Sun artist to sell over a million copies. But then a fateful car crash stalled his career, one of many tragedies in Carl's life. Over the following decades, countless artists performed and recorded his songs and became Carl's friends, collaborators, and champions. Rich with insider detail and background into Carl's private battles, humanitarian work, and personal inspirations, this is a fascinating, in-depth look at his one-of-a-kind legacy.

    ABOUT THE FILM 
    The Godfather is a 1972 American crime drama directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on Mario Puzo’s bestselling novel. The film follows the powerful Corleone family, led by patriarch Vito Corleone, a Mafia don in post-World War II New York. As Vito’s youngest son, Michael, reluctantly becomes involved in the family's criminal empire, the story explores themes of power, loyalty, revenge, and the complexities of family dynamics. The film delves into the moral struggles faced by its characters as they navigate the dangerous world of organized crime, blending crime thriller with deep emotional and ethical conflicts. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Marlon Brando used a mouthpiece made by a dentist to create the distinct look of Don Vito Corleone. He had originally stuffed his cheeks with cotton for his audition to achieve the "bulldog" look.” 
      
    “The cat held by Marlon Brando in the opening scene was a stray that Coppola found on the Paramount lot. It wasn't in the script, and the cat’s purring muffled Brando’s dialogue, so most of his lines had to be re-recorded.” 
      
    “There was significant tension between Francis Ford Coppola and Paramount Pictures, with the studio often trying to replace Coppola due to delays, overspending, and casting issues. However, Coppola finished the film ahead of schedule and under budget.” 
      
    “Marlon Brando improvised the smack that Don Vito gives Johnny Fontane in the movie, and Al Martino's confused reaction was genuine. James Caan later said that Martino didn't know whether to laugh or cry.”
