Does anyone know the story behind Carl Perkins winning a Cadillac from Elvis Presley Drive-byTruckers have a song that mentions it but I can't find anything?
I "think" you are talking about a song from an album in 2004 entitled "The Dirty South" from the Drive-By-Truckers.The song tells the story about a comment that Sam Phillips had made to his recording stars in the 1950s (i.e. Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and then Johnny Cash) about "whoever gets me a gold record first I will buy them a Cadillac". At the time everyone assumed that Elvis would win the Cadillac but Carl Perkins actually did.According to www.Elvis.com, which is the OFFICIAL ELVIS PRESLEY WEBSITE, they state that "On April 10, Sam Phillips presented Carl with a new Cadillac as reward for being the first Sun artist to sell a million copies, in this case it was 'Blue Suede Shoes'".Several photographs of Sam Phillips presenting Carl Perkins with the new Cadillac exist.GREAT QUESTION by the way.

How did Elvis get famous?
Elvis Presley was the first major rock star in the history of rock and roll. He was discovered by Sam Phillips, who owned a Memphis TN recording studio and a record company (Sun Records). In 1953, Elvis had come to Sun Studios to make a record for his mother; at the time, he was just an amateur singer who dreamed of becoming successful in music. Phillips liked his voice and he asked Elvis to come back and audition for him in June and July 1954. At first, the audition did not go well, because Phillips wanted him to sing traditional pop ballads. But then, Elvis began to sing a rhythm-and-blues song called "That's Allright, Mama," and Sam Phillips loved the sound. From then on, he encouraged Elvis to sing that kind of music, which later became known as rock and roll. Elvis began to perform, and with the promotional and marketing help of Sam Phillips. Elvis also was helped by getting a professional manager, Col. Tom Parker. After Phillips sold Elvis's contract to a major record company, RCA, they took things from there. Beginning in 1956-1957, Elvis had hit after hit. He would soon star in movies, perform on TV, and become a teen idol.
