The Untold Story of Elvis's First Guitarist and Manager, Scotty Moore

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Memoir of Scotty Moore, Elvis Presley's first guitarist and manager. When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillip's Memphis-based Sun Records studio, he was a shy teenager in search of a sound. Sam asked guitarist Scotty and bass player Bill Black to work with Elvis-and the music they created as the Blue Moon Boys launched what became known as rock 'n' roll. Scotty and Bill toured with the young singer, and played on all of his Sun sessions and his first recordings for RCA; Scotty also served as Elvis's manager. With Bill Black and Elvis both gone, Scotty is the only remaining member of the original trio who can tell the true story of how Elvis transformed popular music-and how Scotty created the guitar sound that has become the prototype for all rock guitar that followed, prompting Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards to proclaim, "Everyone else wanted to be Elvis-I wanted to be Scotty." For all fans of Elvis Presley and his music-and for all lovers of rock 'n' roll-this is a compelling story. Scotty Moore was a guitarist, recording engineer and record producer. This was his first book with James L. Dickerson. He passed away in 2016 at his home in Nashville, Tennessee.
