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., "Scotty was there from before 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." --George Klein, Memphis radio and TV personality and host of The George Klein Show, Scotty was there from before the beginning.

Synopsis
When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillips's Memphis-based Sun Records studio, he was a shy teenager in search of a sound. Phillips invited a local guitarist named Scotty Moore to stand in. Scotty listened carefully to the young singer and immediately realized that Elvis had something special. Along with bass player Bill Black, the trio recorded an old blues number called ""That's All Right, Mama."" It turned out to be Elvis's first single and the defining record of his early style, with a trilling guitar hook that swirled country and blues together and minted a sound with unforgettable appeal. Its success launched a whirlwind of touring, radio appearances, and Elvis's first break into movies. Scotty was there every step of the way as both guitarist and manager, until Elvis's new manager, Colonel Tom Parker, pushed him out. Scotty and Elvis would not perform together again until the classic 1968 ""comeback"" television special. Scotty never saw Elvis after that. With both Bill Black and Elvis gone, Scotty Moore is the only one left to tell the story of how Elvis and Scotty transformed popular music and how Scotty created the sound that became a prototype for so many rock guitarists to follow. Thoroughly updated, this edition delivers guitarist Scotty Moore's story as never before, When Elvis Presley first showed up at Sam Phillips's Memphis-based Sun Records studio, he was a shy teenager in search of a sound.

This was an expensive purchase, and this particular seller does his business in such a way that is lost on even some MAJOR retailers. I had questions, and he responded within the hour on two separate occasions, and very kindly. He also did the shipping and packaging in such a way that I felt like he was reading my mind, extra care above and beyond. This is the longest after purchase review that I can remember writing, well, because I feel he deserves it. Thank You!

The seller was very helpful and quick to respond to my questions. Their customer service was exceptional. I purchased a nice copy of an older out of print waterproof Bible. The out of print copies are hard to find and are rarely in such good condition. I was thrilled to see they had one for sale. The Bible arrived earlier than expected, nicely packed
I would use this seller again for future purchases as well as recommend to other buyers. Thanks again to the seller for such great customer service

First I must say, whatever "the flames" cost to get attention, they worked. I found several copies at close prices but kept going back to this one!! Anyway, Item arrived timely and packaged with extra care to assure no damage. The item did arrive PERFECT. This is a seller who cares! Great communication. A+++ in every aspect of customer service. DEF do business again. Thanks.
