Carl Perkins did this song first, had a huge hit with it... and then had a car wreck and was out of commission for a good long while. When he had recovered, Elvis had already had an even bigger hit with it and, because he couldn't record a follow-up while he was recuperating, Perkins was always in Elvis' shadow.

Not sure if the Kiss version was more famous, but I like it better.

Love both Buck Owens' "Bakersfield Country" version and Ringo-voiced Beatles version, although most folks know The Beatles' cover of the tune.

I'll be very surprised if you like this version better than Manfred Mann's Billy!
