  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”).

 George Harrison
The young guitarist began constantly loitering about the band, emulating Lennon's manner and appearance despite the fact that Lennon -- initially, at least -- showed no intention of allowing some pimply juvenile to join.
Harrison's undeniable skill with his instrument (demonstrated by a flawless performance of the Bill Justis instrumental piece Raunchy), combined with his bloody-minded persistence, inevitably won the over older musician and landed him the role of lead guitarist in 1958.
In 1959 Harrison landed an additional gig as guitarist for The Les Stewart Quartet, the future of the Quarrymen being in some doubt due to personnel difficulties.
