Scotty Moore The Guitarist Who Changed The World |
 | | Bassist Bill Black, who died in 1965, was, along with Moore and Fontana, the other member of Presley’s original backing band, the Blue Moon Boys. |
 | | Scotty Moore, Bill Black and D.J (born Dominic Joseph) Fontana were present on most of the 1956-57 recordings that have gone down as Elvis classics: “Hound Dog,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Love Me,” “Love Me Tender,” “All Shook Up,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t,” Moore’s personal favorite Elvis performance. |
 | | Among the material they took on was Bill Justis’ “Raunchy,” a few of the sides Moore had cut with Elvis at Sun (“Harbor Lights,” “Mystery Train,” “Milk Cow Blues Boogie”) and a handful of Perkins originals both new (the title track) and old (“Blue Suede Shoes,” “Match Box”). |
