So Glad You´re Mine

Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (August 24, 1905 – March 28, 1974) was a Delta blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. He wrote songs such as "That's All Right" (1946), "My Baby Left Me" and "So Glad You're Mine", later covered by Elvis Presley and dozens of other artists. here we can see the original version by Arthur, Elvis version as well as Raul´s version. After Elvis Presley recorded three Crudup songs in the 1950s, Crudup became known as “The Father of Rock 'n' Roll.” Despite the commercial success of his songs, Crudup was never fairly paid for the music he composed and recorded, and had to work as a laborer or bus driver to support his family.
