Carl Perkins’ “Blue Suede Shoes” was a smash hit when he was seriously injured in a car accident, so Elvis covered the song & waited to release it until Carl’s version fell in the charts, which helped continue Perkins’ income while he was recovering & unable to tour.

In 1950, Elmore James was working as a repairman for Willard and Lillian McMurry, who opened a record label and recorded his song "Dust My Broom", which went on to become a smash hit. 

By the time Trumpet closed five years later in in 1956, Trumpet had recorded dozens of other sides by blues greats like Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Milton, and Arthur Crudup.
