  • Otis Blackwell: Songwriter to “The King”
    Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 3-6 Otis Blackwell: Songwriter to “The King” As the songwriter of two of Elvis Presley’s career-making hits, Otis Blackwell will always be linked to the man known as the King of Rock & Roll. But so many artists have recorded Blackwell’s songs that his work reaches far beyond Presley’s shadow. The many hits Blackwell wrote made him one of rock & roll’s most influential songwriters. Born February 16, 1932, in Brooklyn, New York, Blackwell grew up next to a movie theater and developed a passion for Hollywood’s singing cowboys and their western music. “Like the blues, it told a story,” he once said. “But it didn’t have the same restrictive construction. A cowboy song could do anything.” Blackwell began writing songs in his teens, but turned his attention to performing after winning a local talent show. He soon tired of the road, however, choosing instead to focus on songwriting while working a day job pressing clothes at a New York tailor shop. Presley soon followed this success with “All Shook Up,” which Blackwell penned after his publisher shook a bottle of soda and Blackwell’s demo tape of “Don’t Be Cruel” caught the ear of jokingly challenged him to write a song about it. Presley, who was then looking to expand his popularity from the South to the nation as a whole. Taking cues from Blackwell’s vocal Building on his early success, Blackwell continued to write phrasing, Presley turned the song into a 1956 sensation that topped for Presley, and he created a string of hit songs for other the country, R&B, and pop charts alike.

But many other artists gave voice to Blackwell’s work, leaving behind a legacy that reaches far beyond Presley’s shadow. Indeed, Blackwell is considered one of rock & roll’s most influential songwriters. According to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, “Blackwell is without question one of the select songwriters whose songs literally helped redefine America’s popular music in the early and mid-1950s.” Born February 16, 1932, in Brooklyn, New York, Blackwell grew up next to a movie theater and developed a passion for Hollywood’s singing cowboys and their western music. “Like the blues, it told a story,” he once said. “But it didn’t have the same restrictive construction.

He soon tired of the road, choosing instead to focus on songwriting while working a day job pressing clothes at a New York tailor shop. Blackwell’s demo tape of “Don’t Be Cruel” caught the ear of Presley, who had just signed with RCA Records in November 1955 and was looking to Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, insisted that Blackwell share expand his southern regional popularity to national stardom. Taking cues writing credit with Presley to increase the artist’s profit—a common from Blackwell’s distinctive vocal phrasing, Presley turned the song into a practice at the time among stars.
