I met Scotty a fair few times. Once I was leaving a club down the stairs and Scotty walked in by himself in a raincoat and I just thought to myself how cool is this, I shook his hand and thanked him for coming, a few minutes later I returned to the club naturally 😁
If you watch enough of these videos with Eric Clapton in them you'll notice he's very good about not needing to be the center of attention, all the time
Agreed, I was fortunate enough to as well. And got a 40th birthday postcard signed by him and DJ that my Mrs got them to sign without me knowing.. treasured!
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.
Of course he bows out for Scotty Moore! He played and help ignite the fuse that got rock and roll to explode. Nothing Clapton or any other guitar player can lay claim to that! He should have kissed his hands!
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.

Ah c'était le bon temps, celui de ma jeunesse, le début des années 60, où nous écoutions les tubes d'Elvis. Quel bonheur.

The Guitar Sound that change The World.
Great song!!!
The Real Memphis Sound!!!!
Keith Richard once said that when he was young everybody wanted to be Elvis. "I wanted to be Scotty Moore."

Scotty is criminally underrated - and a great guy too. I met him twice and he was as gracious as could be.
lucky you

The lineage of guitar rock ‘n’ roll right there.🙏❤️🎼.x

It was so cool that Eric bowed out on lead guitar for Scotty. Shows class. 2 legends here.
Of course he bows out for Scotty Moore! He played and help ignite the fuse that got rock and roll to explode. Nothing Clapton or any other guitar player can lay claim to that! He should have kissed his hands!
It's only right Scotty takes the lead. He wrote it!
BULLSHIT! Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup wrote and recorded the song before Elvis!
More “fake news” that relegates black artists to “non-people” 🤬
@@daveandcarolinepower4437 Scotty still wrote the guitar part
come on Scotty plays with such ease he makes it looks simple.....an under rated guitarist
scotty is an absolute legend.
amen RIP SCOTTY

And Elvis never wrote one song
@@michaelthorne5441 Neither did Luciano Pavarotti - but he was still a world class singer

Scotty kills it here....
Oh, well done, Mr Clapton. Great to see this collab with Scotty Moore. Thank you, thank you very much, legends 💯⚡❤
Just wonderful, Scotty and Eric, legends.

É 10!
scotty the magic
Master class in guitar.
Scotty Moore guaaauu con Eric que placer escucharlos y encima como un tributo para el Rey una gozada
Je salue Scotty Moore légende et guitariste du King Elvis des années 50 60 et Le Boss E.Clapton .🎄🎉🎊✨🎄
What a classic rock and roll track… so much so I had a crack it.. thanks for upload 😊
Awesome 👏 chemistry of two great legends
classic!!
Smile Scotty
Great job! Very impressed! Sang it better than I thought he could.
A couple of great guitarist, love em to bits with licks
if you have never seen it check out the video with Eric, George and a bunch of other pickers with the late Carl Perkins IT ROCKS
Like The Bridge In A Song Or Guitar, Good Music Can "BRIDGE" GENERATIONS!! 😄👍 ✌ 😎 🎶🎵🎶
Good thing for most people I wasn't the director here . . . I would have only had one camera, zeroed in on Scotty's hands.
Love scotty up !!!!
Wonderful uk '23
Nota 10!
C'est sympa d'autant plus qu'Éric Clapton appréciait beaucoup Elvis ❤️❤️
I learnt that solo,but i need to speed it up a bit.
the one on drums is like day lewis
Scotty has the nervy dervies
👌🇺🇸
60k views and the channel can't be bothered
with showing the 'air' date in description.
Pourquoi n'avoir cité que Clapton dans l'intitulé ?
Alors que tout l'intérêt de la vidéo est qu'il joue avec la légende Scotty Moore
SUBSCRIPTION.... 1632... !
didn’t know that SBY could play guitar
As a vocalist, Claptout is a reasonable guitarist 🙄
A better video has Scotty Moore on guitar, DJ Fontana on drums and Paul McCartney on bass and singing.
Eric killed this cover. Sounds better elvis
Murdered it more like it. Clapout can play a bit, but his voice is average to ordinary even on a good day
@@daveandcarolinepower4437 no rhythm just like the Beatles Paul sounded just as silly when he did it with Scotty and DJ Fontana
Yeah he butchered it with his ordinary voice!!!
I am sure its in A which is a pretty high key.
I play it in A D7 E.
Clapton is really struggling here, singing-wise I mean.
Amazing how this song is by arthur crudup....Elvis didnt write or make this song!!!! Give arthur his credit where its deserved! the real KING 1952
People called Elvis 'King Of Rock'N'Roll'....nobody claimed he was 'King Of Composers'.
