From the You-Learn-Something-Every-Day Dept:
I was going to post the classic suicide song "The Last Letter" (1937) by Rex Griffin (which you can find here) when I went to Rex's Wiki page and found something very interesting:
Rex Griffin - "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" (1936)
Rex Griffin
Carl Perkins - "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" (1957)
The Beatles - "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" (1964)
This wasn't the only time for Carl Perkins:
Blind Lemon Jefferson - "Match Box Blues" (1927)
Shelton Brothers - "Match Box Blues" (1949)
Carl Perkins - "Matchbox" (1957) - A classic clip
The Beatles - "Matchbox" (1964) - Ringo on vocal

In 1956, Carl Perkins adapted his "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" into his own song and in 1964 The Beatles covered it on the album Beatles for Sale.

Sol Hoopii (1902–1953) was a Native Hawaiian guitarist, claimed by many as the all-time best lap steel guitar virtuoso. The sound he helped popularize would revolutionize both country and blues.
"St. Louis Blues"
"Kauoha Mai"
"12th Street Rag"
I can't be the only person to think this sounds quite a bit like the (much later) "Third Man Theme"
Very rare film of Sol Hoopii performing
Produced to be shown in bible schools by Aimee Semple McPherson's Evangelical association, this 1943 film of Sol playing religious songs was believed lost for many decades
