Musicians Are Real People With Hobbies

Rockabilly's brightest luminary, Carl Perkins, once said that of all the honors he'd received in his life, having a child abuse prevention center named after him was the one he cherished the most. Perkins, whose 1956 smash crossover hit "Blue Suede Shoes" (it was the first song ever to sit near the top of each of the pop, country, and R&B charts) defines the essence of rockabilly, was the co founder of the Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center For the Prevention of Child Abuse in Jackson, Tennessee.
