Description
Elvis Presley's early sound was forged in the studio of Sam Phillips's Memphis-based Sun Records, where guitarist Scotty Moore first met the young singer. Moore's keen ear picked up on Elvis's unique talent, and the two went on to record a memorable blues number, "That's All Right, Mama." This debut single showcased a captivating blend of country and blues, setting the stage for Elvis's meteoric rise to fame. With Moore by his side, Elvis embarked on a whirlwind tour of touring, radio appearances, and his first forays into film. However, as Elvis's career progressed, Moore's role began to change. He was eventually pushed out by Elvis's new manager, Colonel Tom Parker, and the two would not perform together again until the 1968 "comeback" television special. Now, with both Elvis and his bassist, Bill Black, gone, Scotty Moore is the last remaining link to the story of how Elvis and Moore transformed popular music. This updated edition brings Moore's story to life in a way that has never been seen before. Thoroughly updated, this illustrated edition offers a fresh perspective on the partnership between Elvis and Scotty Moore, whose sound has had a lasting impact on rock music.
