| "Hello, my name is Carl Perkins. I am a sharecropper's
son. I work very hard for what I have to eat, and a place to stay warm in the
winter. My favorite fruit is the orange, although I don't get very many oranges.
I love my Mama and Daddy, and my two brothers, Jay and Clayton. And I don't
want to grow up to be a man like Hitler. Someday I want to be a big radio star.
Thank you." Carl Perkins (written by Carl Perkins as
an elementary student) |
 His body of work had an impact on everyone
from the Beatles to Bob Dylan.
