Luck is a rare word in the Blues. But luckily the Blues had a baby and they named it Rock and Roll. In other words: Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup! Crudup (1905-1974) was one of the unlucky bluesmen who barely got a dime for writing all the songs that became classics in the wide field of Blues and R&,B and later also in the Rockabilly music genre when a young Elvis Presley revived his songs in Presley's own Rockabilly arrangements. The 'Big Boy' was almost forgotten by the mid-1950s but Presley's unique hit versions of Arthur Crudup songs pulled him out of obscurity. ,


The 'Big Boy' signed a contract with Fire Records in the late 1950s and issued several 45rpm singles. An album release followed in 1961. Arthur's popularity raised especially through his global appearances on many Folk and Blues festivals throughout the 1960s. His popularity didn't stop in the following years up to his death in 1974. Today Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup is a legende of his own. ,

He owns an immens important position in music history as a singer and songwriter. He was inducted to the 'Blues Hall of Fame' in 1994. Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup rocks and he prooves it on 28 rockin' songs made for RCA Victor from the mid-1940s onward up to Fire recordings from the late 1950s and early 1960s. That's All Right, Mama!

"Arthur Crudup"

Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup

Dies ist der Bluessong, der fast schon in Vergessenheit geraten war, als Elvis Presley ihn auf der A-Seite seiner ersten Sun-Single 1954 coverte. Elvis war immer ein Fan von Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup und nahm 1956 zwei weitere seiner Songs auf, nachdem er zu RCA Victor gewechselt war (ironischerweise der früheren Plattenheimat von Big Boy). Aber Arthur blieb ein vergleichbares Maß an monetärer Kompensation zeitlebens verwehrt 

Die Sozialversicherung listet Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudups Geburtsdatum als 24. August 1909, obwohl er selbst stets 1905 nannte, wahrscheinlich kam er in Forest, Mississippi, zur Welt. In seinen jungen Jahren war Crudup Landarbeiter und nahm die Gitarre überhaupt erst 1937 in die Hand. Seine erste Klampfe hatte einen so verbogenen Hals, dass er sie nur mit Kapodaster spielen konnte, was wahrscheinlich der Grund ist, warum er den Großteil seiner Songs in derselben Tonart spielt. Im Jahr 1940 zog Arthur hoch nach Chicago – bereit, dort sein Glück als Bluesmusiker zu versuchen. Die Zeiten war hart und er wohnte in einem Pappkarton auf der South Side unter den Gleisen der 'L'-Hochbahn. Seine große Chance kam im darauf folgenden Jahr, als ihn Lester Melrose – damals der Top-Bluesproduzent der Stadt – auf der Straße spielen hörte und ihm sagte, er bekäme 10 Dollar, wenn er mitkommen und auf Tampa Reds Hausparty spielen würde. Melrose muss wohl gefallen haben, was er hörte: Big Boy begann im September desselben Jahres Aufnahmen für Bluebird zu machen.

Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudups Durchbruch kam 1945, als er in die R&B-Charts mit einem ruppigen Rock Me, Mama einstieg. Crudup behielt zumeist dieselbe Grundmelodie und –gitarren­beglei­tung bei, normalerweise unterstützt von Ransom Knowling am Bass und Judge Riley am Schlagzeug. So war es auch, als er am 6. September 1946 in RCAs Studio A in Chicago That's All Right einspielte; Melrose war Aufnahmeleiter. Wegen seiner essenziellen Rolle in Presleys Entwicklung ist es überraschend, dass der Song kein Hit war – im Unterschied zu So Glad You're Mine, einer weiteren Komposition von Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup, über die sich Elvis hermachte. Doch als es erst einmal von Elvis aufgerockt war, wurde That's All Right für die allermeisten zu Big Boys Visitenkarte.

 

Ab den frühen 50ern waren Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudups Tage als Hitmacher vorbei. Er machte später mit einer LP für Bobby Robinsons in Harlem ansässigem Fire-Label Anfang der 60er-Jahre und mit ein paar Delmark-LPs später im selben Jahrzehnt auf sich aufmerksam – sowie mit endlosen Scharmützeln über die riesigen Tantiemen, die ihm durch die gewaltigen Verkaufszahlen von Presleys Coverversionen seiner Titel zugestanden hätten. Wie so oft wurden die Ansprüche erst geregelt, nachdem Crudup am 28. März 1974 nach ein paar Jahren späten musikalischen Erfolgs als tourender Bluesmann verstarb. Crudup war keinesfalls ein Virtuose der elektrischen Gitarre, aber sein Ansatz passte perfekt zu seinen zeitlosen Kompositionen.

Press and Reviews
Press - Arthur „Big Boy" Crudup - Rocks - Hyperbolium
Press - Arthur „Big Boy" Crudup - Rocks - Hyperbolium Arthur Crudup is most widely remembered as the writer of Elvis Presley’s first single, “That’s All Right,” and the later B-side “My Baby Left Me.” But by the time Presley waxed these sides in the mid-50s, Crudup had already quit the recording business in disgust. Crudup was denied a share of the royalties his songwriting and recordings had generated, and after years of subsisting on low wages for sessions and performances, he’d had enough of enriching others. He eventually returned to recording and performing, continuing on into the 1970s, but even with legal help, he was never able to claim the royalties for the songs that had launched others onto the charts.

Press - Arthur „Big Boy" Crudup - Rocks - Living Blues Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup brought his blues up from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago, where he made his earliest recordings with RCA. His thrumming and banging guitar style, and his propulsive rhythms, have often earned him the title of “Father of Rock and Roll.”
