FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Memoir of Scotty Moore, Elvis Presleys first guitarist and manager. When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillips 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 Elviss 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. Author Biography Scotty Moore is a guitarist, recording engineer and record producer.

Review KEITH RICHARDS of the Rolling Stones"Everyone else wanted to be Elvis--I wanted to be Scotty."PAUL McCARTNEY of the Beatles"When we were growing up in Liverpool the sound of Scottys guitar on early Elvis records was nothing short of miraculous. It sounded to us like nothing wed ever heard before and the gods in Valhalla couldnt have made a better sound. His technical skills, mixed with his sometime wild abandon, set the perfect tone for Elviss vocals . . . Rest in peace Scotty, one of the great gods of the guitar." THE WASHINGTON POST"Of all the musicians who worked with Elvis, none was more important than his right-hand man, Scotty Moore." JERRY SCHILLING"Scotty was the rock, sort of like the pope is the rock of the church. Knowing Elvis and Scotty the way I do, I can see why Elvis depended on him." LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW"Moore is modest, point-blank and disdainful of myth." GEORGE KLEINMemphis radio and TV personality and longtime friend of Elvis Presley "Scotty was there from the beginning. I learned so much that I never knew . . . great insight to the early years. One of the best books on Elvis I ever read."
