You'd think the man that contributed two songs to Elvis Presley's early repertoire would become a rich citizen. But it didn't happen to Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. Royalties for 'That's All Right', 'My Baby Left Me' and 'So Glad You're Mine' were never paid during his lifetime. But he'd had success during the decade before Presley's arrival, with six top ten hits between 1945 and 1951. Both sides of a single, 'Rock Me Mama' and 'Who's Been Foolin' You', reached #3 and # 5 respectively in May 1945, followed by another #3, 'Keep Your Arms Around Me', the following December. In October 1946, 'So Glad You're Mine' also reached #3, while its B-side, 'Ethel Mae' got to #4 the following month. His final hit, 'I'm Gonna Dig Myself A Hole', reached #9 in November 1951.Born in 1905 in Forest, Mississippi, Crudup didn't pick up a guitar until he was in his thirties.
