Keith Richard once said that when he was young everybody wanted to be Elvis. "I wanted to be Scotty Moore."

for those who do not know, Scotty Moore led Elvis's band from 1954 to 1968....Elvis asked him to go to Vegas in 1969, but Scotty said "No thanks, I'm too old to go out on the road anymore" and Scotty said "Call Ricky Nelson's old guitarist, James Burton. He'll build you a band."

For those who do not know Elvis' swiveling hips led Elvis' band just ask DJ Fontana on drums as DJ used to play strip clubs where his beat of the drums was led by the strippers gyrations. John Wilkinson rhythm guitar in Elvis' TCB band from 1969 to 1977 wasn't brought in by Burton - from Rolling Stone " Wilkinson grew up in Springfield, Missouri, watching Presley perform on television. In 1955, when he was ten years old, Wilkinson snuck into the star’s dressing room before a concert at Springfield’s Shrine Mosque and berated the King for his musicianship. “You can’t play guitar worth a damn,” the boy said." Elvis remembered that moment and hired John in 1969 per John. Ronnie Tutt Elvis' drummer was chosen by Elvis during a tryout. Sam Phillips of Sun Records was called by Elvis prior to the 1969 shows as Elvis asked for reassurance from Sam that he had his band set up accordingly for the ideal sound Sam said yes.

for those that dont know, i met james, ron jerry and glen together a few times.. james nearly came a cropper cutting a tree down in his backyard in the 90s and was lucky to survive, he also said they (tcb) had sessions with the stones in hotel rooms never publicised and they got on with mick and keith..

@@hollywoodj107 I simply quoted what Scotty himself said in his autobiography "That's Alright, Elvis""...read it and see. ..Scotty had EP contact James B, and EP did. And James accepted the offer. Who chose which band member after that is beyond the purview of Scotty's suggestion to EP...naturally EP would make any final decisions himself.

Amazing that this man wrote all those incredible Sun solos... some of them pretty much on the fly. If Sam Phillips hadn't got them on tape they'd probably be lost forever. Scotty's sound really was as important as Elvis' vocals. The two plus of course Bill and later DJ truly were the sound that changed music.

@@michaelthorne5441 Neither did Sinatra, Garland, etc. What Elvis did was interpret another people's songs, whether they were covers or those written for him, like no other. The Beatles wrote their own songs but couldn't sing to save their lives. Either way, it doesn't matter, so why use such pointless bullshit to have a pop at Elvis? Nothing against Scotty - and I can't imagine those early solos by anyone else - but no-one would have heard of him if it were not for his association with Elvis.
