@@rubentucker210 Yeah, Black passed away so 2/3 of the band is better then nothing and Macca plays Bass so it was still good! To play with them must have been a thrill! For both sides! Macca got to play with most of Elvis’s band and they had a Beatle singing in Elvis’s role. I thought it was cool and sounded great! DJ Fontana liked what he heard and joked they should go on the Road! He seemed pleased and impressed with Paul! It was a great moment and musical exchange I thought! I enjoyed it anyway! 👏🏻🎸😎
Absolutely in credible isn't it Hahahahahahahahhahahahahha. What a load of old shit. McCartney is usually a genius, but absolutely not here...and I am sure he would agree. The man is WAYYYYY above this junk. It's as low and untalented as Elvis the Pelvis.

I was always impressed with the respect that Paul McCartney showed to everyone/everything that came before him - starting with his earliest Beatles days and right up to the present time.
Guess i’ll spell this out for everybody: paul mccartney telling these two random old guys to stop fucking around is a joke, because these two random old guys were famous before he was and he learned how to play from listening to their records. Scotty Moore. the guitarist in this video, is literally the guitarist on the elvis record. The ‘joke’, which isn’t funny now that it has to be explained, is that he, this person who learned how to play from these masters, is telling them they have to be professional and stop having any fun. This is nothing BUT fun for PM, who you can tell is absolutely beyond himself just to be in the same room as these two legends, despite being a legend himself.
Yes, and the ADD videographer missing a historic opportunity of capturing Moore as he played perhaps the most important rock song of all times. Instead we get to see McCartney's face and just about anything else, save for a couple snippets of Moore. Now I dislike McCartney even more.
@@locarnese5598 Good point, I was digging watching what Scotty was playing, lol, not even really carrying what Paul was doing, just waiting for those few seconds showing what Scotty was playing.
Only people who understand the history of rock n roll can truly appreciate the historic significance of this recording session. Amazing history here. Legends. All stars. Amazing to be able to have seen and heard this considering I’m only 40 and way to young to have ever been able to see Elvis or the Beatles live. And for Paul McCartney, I’m guessing this session was one of his lifetime bucket list fulfillments. This song and the man who recorded it with Scotty and DJ in that little studio in Memphis, Tennessee 64 years ago changed music, and the life of 4 kids from Liverpool England
Very nice, but DJ was not there. That's Alright Mama was recorded in 1954 in Sun Studio by Elvis Presley, Scotty Moore and Bill Black. DJ Fontana would joy the group later
I just have to get this off my chest. I hate when any of the Beatles cover Elvis if you read all their interviews it’s like a rollercoaster one minute love then hate then anger. It literally changes with every interview Besides they can not do any improving of elvises songs. They do have the writing skills but Elvis kills them with vocals charisma sexiness and live performing. Their at their best locked up in the studio
@@michaeliacangelo5646 Elvis is my first and only, but I so disagree with you. Independent of each other, Paul and John said there would be no Beatles without Elvis. Paul has talked adoringly of Elvis in most interviews I've seen. He owns the Bill Black bass and is singing Heartbreak Hotel on You Tube playing it. He was at Graceland several years ago. At the grave, he placed a guitar pick and said for him to use in Heaven. I found out recently that while there he got to go into the secret archive building where you have to wear gloves to touch anything. He was the last person to play Elvis' famous guitar that is shown all over the internet of Austin Butler posing with it in the Jungle Room.. The head of archives presented it to Butler for a photo. When John Lennon dressed up to go out, he wore a diamond ELVIS in cursive lapel pin. Sean wore it with Julian to present an award to Elvis. On You Tube. There's fake stories out there about the Nixon visit regarding the Beatles that just ARE NOT TRUE! (DO NOT believe that awful Nixon movie! Not true!) I met the people who were there. It is also posted on You Tube. I get so tired of outright lies, as if it''s truth posted about Elvis..
I'm "only" 74, but still remember my older sister coming home from an Elvis concert in the mid or late '50's. What I remember was how weird she was acting..., she still all revved up, pretty funny!
You forgot to mention DJ Fontana on drums. And if Sir Paul was pluckin a slap bass instead of his Hoffner, Elvis and Bill would have entered the building.
do you know if DJ Fontana lives today? b'cuz in an concert or something i saw, from 2012 or 2014, then I saw him behind the drums....and i had 2 say to myself that it MUST be DJ Fontana.... he is so old =P
Siri-Anne Moen Yes he is still alive and playing on tour. I met D.J. in Nashville Airport in 2012. One of the nicest men I ever met! God bless you D.J.
This was one of Paul McCartney’s earliest songs to listen to, he played it with the Beatles (their version is absolutely fantastic!), this must have brought him fond memories of his early years, and I think he’d never imagined then that one day he’d be playing it with Elvis Presley’s band! This is pure gold.
Scotty Moore is the reason I wanted to play Guitar like him after seeing Elvis live in Greensboro, N.C. at the National Theatre on Feb 6, 1956. I bought and wore out all the Sun recordings listening to and learning to play Guitar. I Loved Mystery Train, Baby, Let's Play House, My Baby Left Me, Good Rockin' Tonight, Milk Cow Blues Boogie and so many many more. RIP Scotty and Thank you my friend.
yep same here .1st heard Elvis when I was 15 in 1955. can play so.e of the solos ,but as you know must of those great old early sun records were in the same 3 chords.I had a great early on teacher in a guy i met in 59 ( he was 16 i think ) Albert Lee.
Mavors44. John didn't put up with his bossiness. Paul learned through the breakup of the Beatles that you cannot treat your peers like puppets. Scotty and DJ are older than Paul and they were clearly joking around here...unless you mean to tell me that Paul blatantly disrespected them???
CooManTunes, John was the "apparent" leader in public while the band toured. Paul was always boss in the studio along with George Martin, and the other 3 didn't have a problem with it at all. Things got more tense after Brian died, but especially when John brought Yoko into the studio. She wanted John to be the boss of the band while she bossed him. He didn't want to look weak in front of her, although he let her boss him.
To say Paul is one of the best vocalist of all time is not only absurd and laughable but totally false on his very best day he couldn’t come close to elvises voice on his worst I wouldn’t even put McCartney in the top 50 male vocalists of the century. Very mediocre voice and wildly overrated
@@michaeliacangelo5646 His voice isn't mediocre though, he was blessed to have one of the highest pitched vocals in the music industry and he's known to be the man of 1000 voices. Also keep in mind he was 60 in this clip
Amazing what the *right* three piece band can create. DJ's solid, subtle foundation, Scotty's casual precision and Macca's bass and vocal dancing on top.
This is a great version of this song. I can just picture young Paul lying in bed with the lights off singing along to the original version of this - dreaming of someday becoming a big star. The guitar work in this song is outstanding. Thanks for the posting.
My wife and I went on our honeymoon in St. Louis about eight or nine years ago, and stayed at a Hyatt. It looked more like a castle than anything. Anyway, a week before we showed up, Paul McCartney was there. Upon checking out his 1980 something Bronco broke down out front. When an employee asked why he doesn't just get a rental or buy a new car, Paul told him the truck was a sentimental thing. Can you imagine if John Lennon had ridden in it? Wow. I love amazing stories like this.
There exists pictures of Paul and a few fans at a gas station in Springfield IL during that trip. For whatever reason he and his wife decided to drive from Chicago to ST. Louis.
@@TheGreekPoet it "came" about when EP single-handedly used the song as a device to INVENT "Rockabilly",,,,he made it what it was. a new style...he could have used any song....witness the flip side of this song in '54....EP took the COUNTRY song "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and also turned IT into "Rockabilly."
@@TheGreekPoet it was Scotty who told Sam Phillips at Sun Records that Elvis had potential, and at the first recording session, when Elvis spontaneously turned the slow song "That's Alright" into an up tempo rockabilly rave up, Scotty created the catchy lead guitar throughout the song that gave it the drive it needed. So he WAS the architect and Elvis was the "builder"
I didn't have to convince my daughter about how great the Beatles were, I showed her a couple of songs and how they change from the fifties to the seventies and she was blown away! Even when they fought their music said it all and sadly when George and John passed away Paul and Ringo manage to write some beautiful music about their mates! True professionals all of them! Paul and the boys sound dam good here!
I was a little young to know about Scotty Moore when my sister was listening to Elvis. I heard about Scotty Moore from a Jimmy Page magazine article. Scotty helped form a lot of guitar players. Incredible guitar player! Thank you Paul!
Scotty and DJ are class acts.. I met them a while ago. Hung out with them for 2 hours. Had my guitar autographed by them... rest in peace scotty and DJ
Imagine singing with one of your boyhood hero's band. Here it is. Scotty sounds great, Paul sounds great. Wow ! I only wished they showed more of Scotty when he did his break.
To me he is not wanting to be better, or imitate Elvis, for me he's paying homage, as all Beatles always said Elvis fans. A well-known phrase of John Lenon he said: "Before Elvis there was nothing" Beautiful tribute, Elvis has always been and always will be the best.
Most elvis songs are old blues songs blues had a baby and called it rock and roll black slang for sex little Richard says it best in good golly miss molly even though he's as gay as the day is long
blaster88778 Many artists during and before that era didn't write their own material including Sinatra, Ellla, Billi Holiday et al, Elvis made these songs his own and his version is way different to the original. It is a race issue and if Elvis was black it wouldn't be a problem. A black artist called Big Mama Thorton recorded "hound Dog" which was written by two white jews, Leiber and Stoller (who wrote for many black artists) but no one says they stole music from the jews. Many of the artists Elvis covered wouldn't have seen the light of day if it wasn't for him. Everyone is influenced by everyone black or white. Stealing is when you cover something verbatim. Elvis transformed those early blues songs into a music form called "rockabilly" Everyone who covers the song does the Elvis version. Crudup's version is simple 12 bar R & B. Many black greats like Howlin Wolf, Jackie Wilson, BB King, James Brown and Fats Domino weren't bitter about Elvis' fame and acknowledge his originality
you know, when I watched this video for 1st time I thought "Hey, that old man rocks on guitar" Then I found out he was Elvis lead guitarist. Lol. Amazing axe man
Wow! That was pure music to my ears, and I've just listened to Presley's original version. So poignant considering the tragic death of Macca's mother. You've done both of them proud, Paul. Paul, you're one hell of a guy!
***** Can't really say. It's just a matter of personal taste. It sounded kind of course, falsetto and nasally compared to the beautiful tones he produced earlier (and later)
Nah. Long Tall Sally, I'm Down, Sgt. Pepper, all the way to the other side of the spectrum with Yesterday. Personally, yeah, Elvis was 'The King,' but he couldn't write his own stuff, and became a caricature of himself in his later years. And Paul only made 2 bad movies.
@@judefernandez827 Anyone who derides this version by Paul is brain dead where music and performance is concerned, and I'm an Elvis fan, Now or Never my fav over some great Opera permances
*The drummer :* _Dominic Joseph ( DJ ) Fontana_ was an American musician best known as the drummer for Elvis Presley for 14 years. In October 1954 he was hired to play drums for Presley, which marked the beginning of a fifteen-year relationship. He played on over 460 RCA cuts with Elvis. Wikipedia Born: March 15, 1931, Shreveport, LA Died: June 13, 2018, Nashville, TN
Wonderful to hear a bunch of "geezers" sounding so great. In January 2019 I spotted a billboard for a McCartney concert. I was in a small bus going to the airport in Santiago Chile. International appeal for a true craftsman.
I have heard "thats alright" many many times. And I have to give credit to McCartney. He does an excellent job in capturing the song. I'd really like to hear some more Elvis songs from him!
Absolutely loved this, thank you Paul............Scotty and DJ.......RIP Scotty, and of course, the King. At the age of 14, I was actually one of the first to purchase those 45's..........Yeah, all from SUN. The King changed the World, before the music was by Patti Page, HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGY IN THE WINDOW. THANK GOD, and they didn't run Elvis out of town.
Allan, you're mistaken. D.J. played with Elvis, Scotty and Bill in May of 1955. But he didn't become part of the band as a regular until August of 1955. Scotty, Bill and Elvis were together since July of 1954. so really 13 months later is when Fontana became a band member.
In honor of Scotty Moore, Elvis' guitarist, who passed on June 28, 2016. P. McCartney recording with the legendary guitarist doing " That's All Mama" which would greatly influence The Beatles. Moore became an inspiration to many subsequent popular guitarists, including Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Page, and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Richards "Everyone else wanted to be Elvis-I wanted to be Scotty." From the "Good Rockin' Tonite" DVD. ruclips.net/video/tDWfOSKccLM/видео.html
Sure, Elvis was great, Scotty Moore was great, Paul McCartney is great. But the world seems to forget about the poor mistreated African American, who migrated from the south, to Chicago. Trying to better his life. The guy who wrote the damn song, Arthur Big Boy Crudup. Another great to add to the list. Let's not forget, the foundation. Look him up.
Rick Have to look up timeframes but Elvis had 3 legends play regularly with him, Scotty, Hank and James..some overlapping too. Scotty left along with DJ or Bill Black (can't remember...probably Bill) probably over strain with management, not Elvis. Hank Garland took over. They were both so good that Elvis' appreciativeness had them both play different sessions or venues when Scotty came back. Hank stopped probably after his serious car wreck..don't know why Scotty stopped. James Burton was 70's and Vegas years more or less. I forget who did the '68 comeback..Scotty I think??? Anyway, Scotty and Elvis will always be the mythical team despite all 3 being legendary with him. In my mind..Scotty 1950's, Hank 1960's, James 1970's.
@@Rick-or2kq Scotty played live and in the studio with EP from 1954 to 1968 !...In 1969, EP asked Scotty and DJ and the Jordanaires to all go with him for the month long new gig in Vegas, 2 shows a night.....none of them had been "on the road" since 1958, when EP went into the Army, and they all declined EP's offer...said they were "too old" to go on tour again....EP said to Scotty, "Man, what will i DO without all of you?"....Scotty said "I'll call Ricky Nelson's old guitarist. You remember James Burton. He can put together a band for you." That is from Scotyt's book "That's Alright, Elvis."
I'm so glad that Paul sings the nice song called "that's all right mama" which Elvis had sung before. Of course, Paul's singing is as marvelous as Elvis! He has brought an additioal value into this song. Next, I'd like to hope that Paul will sing Elvis' thrilling song called "One night" that makes us feel "Rhythm and Blues" spirit. From Tokyo
The world loves Paul McCartney.And if we’re going to talk about ego’s, which is not fair, let’s be frank no one had a bigger ego than Elvis.I recorded that song on my iPhone I’d love Paul to take a listen
Este documento es una mina de Oro realizado por los tres más grandes músicos...un ex Beatle y dos músicos originales que grabaron este tema que popularizó el Rey Elvis Presley......!!!
Te equivocas, D. J. Fontana no participó en la grabación del original That's all right mama de 1954, puesto que al comienzo no tenían un batería, en la banda sólo estaban, Elvis, Scotty y Black. Fontana se añadió después al grupo.
This is an exceptionally special video. I am very disappointed, Pedro, that you have not acknowledged that 2 of Elvis's original musicians are playing here with Paul while he is singing their, and Elvis's, first hit record. Scotty Moore the unique guitarist, and the drummer Dominic Fontana. So love the way Paul honoured these two, with this recording, at the sunset of their musical lives - which makes 'Mama' their first and their last recording, both performed with a top icon of the music world.
Thanks so much for posting this. A brilliant performance from Macca - and it was a first take (the film that this comes from, 'Good Rockin' Tonight', is like three films in one; highly recommended).
This is incredible! A Beatle singing with Elvis’s original band! And it sounds great! History in the making!

Anyway, a week before we showed up, Paul McCartney was there. Upon checking out his 1980 something Bronco broke down out front. When an employee asked why he doesn't just get a rental or buy a new car, Paul told him the truck was a sentimental thing. Can you imagine if John Lennon had ridden in it? Wow. I love amazing stories like this.
There exists pictures of Paul and a few fans at a gas station in Springfield IL during that trip. For whatever reason he and his wife decided to drive from Chicago to ST. Louis.

RIP, Scotty... you were the architect, and you deserve all the praise.
Scotty wasn't the architect of anything. He was a good session guitarist. Do you even have an idea how That's Alright came about?
How old was he in this video
@@TheGreekPoet you need to listen to all of the praise his fellow musicians gives him in regards to that. Just saying he isn‘t doesn‘t make you right
@@TheGreekPoet it "came" about when EP single-handedly used the song as a device to INVENT "Rockabilly",,,,he made it what it was. a new style...he could have used any song....witness the flip side of this song in '54....EP took the COUNTRY song "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and also turned IT into "Rockabilly."
@@TheGreekPoet it was Scotty who told Sam Phillips at Sun Records that Elvis had potential, and at the first recording session, when Elvis spontaneously turned the slow song "That's Alright" into an up tempo rockabilly rave up, Scotty created the catchy lead guitar throughout the song that gave it the drive it needed. So he WAS the architect and Elvis was the "builder"
I didn't have to convince my daughter about how great the Beatles were, I showed her a couple of songs and how they change from the fifties to the seventies and she was blown away! Even when they fought their music said it all and sadly when George and John passed away Paul and Ringo manage to write some beautiful music about their mates! True professionals all of them! Paul and the boys sound dam good here!
Yeh so does Scotty and dj fontana it's just a pity Bill Black and elvis weren't there to coach him lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was a little young to know about Scotty Moore when my sister was listening to Elvis. I heard about Scotty Moore from a Jimmy Page magazine article. Scotty helped form a lot of guitar players. Incredible guitar player! Thank you Paul!
Very rare! This is an iconic song, it's no surprise to me that Paul did a great job of covering it. He's the master of creation in the world of music.
Wow great version!!!. Man he still got it after all these many long decades...
He sounds better than his younger years. This is an amazing tribute
He sounds great but when in his thirties he was truly outstanding.
O TIMBRE DE VOZ SE ASSEMELHA MUITO COM A VOZ ELVIS BEM JOVEM.
Scotty and DJ are class acts.. I met them a while ago. Hung out with them for 2 hours. Had my guitar autographed by them... rest in peace scotty and DJ
Imagine singing with one of your boyhood hero's band. Here it is. Scotty sounds great, Paul sounds great. Wow !
I only wished they showed more of Scotty when he did his break.
He covers Elvis' songs with great a pleasure and feeling.
Paul has such a versatile voice. He can sing anything from gentle ballads to Little Richard screamers. Love, love, love him!
What a legend. Saw the Beatles in concertin 1964 & have adored Paul all my life.❤
Have heard a few artists performing this, but Paul McCartney knows how to sell it.
To me he is not wanting to be better, or imitate Elvis, for me he's paying homage, as all Beatles always said Elvis fans.
A well-known phrase of John Lenon he said:
"Before Elvis there was nothing"
Beautiful tribute, Elvis has always been and always will be the best.
Thank you very much, I like your comment alot!
Originally not elvis. Arthur crudup wrote this elvis stole it white man singing black man songs
Most elvis songs are old blues songs blues had a baby and called it rock and roll black slang for sex little Richard says it best in good golly miss molly even though he's as gay as the day is long
blaster88778 Many artists during and before that era didn't write their own material including Sinatra, Ellla, Billi Holiday et al, Elvis made these songs his own and his version is way different to the original.
It is a race issue and if Elvis was black it wouldn't be a problem. A black artist called Big Mama Thorton recorded "hound Dog" which was written by two white jews, Leiber and Stoller (who wrote for many black artists) but no one says they stole music from the jews.
Many of the artists Elvis covered wouldn't have seen the light of day if it wasn't for him. Everyone is influenced by everyone black or white. Stealing is when you cover something verbatim. Elvis transformed those early blues songs into a music form called "rockabilly" Everyone who covers the song does the Elvis version. Crudup's version is simple 12 bar R & B.
Many black greats like Howlin Wolf, Jackie Wilson, BB King, James Brown and Fats Domino weren't bitter about Elvis' fame and acknowledge his originality
Elvis is shit
you know, when I watched this video for 1st time I thought "Hey, that old man rocks on guitar" Then I found out he was Elvis lead guitarist. Lol. Amazing axe man
Artist Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup...........blues legend!........thanks Big Boy for giving the world a great sound!......you’re the man!!
Wow! That was pure music to my ears, and I've just listened to Presley's original version. So poignant considering the tragic death of Macca's mother. You've done both of them proud, Paul. Paul, you're one hell of a guy!
Actually, this is the original version ruclips.net/video/a4IILmBqaD8/видео.html&ab_channel=Arthur%27BigBoy%27Crudup-Topic
Usually he sounds completely different to when he was young but here he sounds a lot like he did when he sung it originally when he was in early 20's
Yup, a good voice day. I hate some of the throaty late Beatles stuff - like Get Back - but he is right back on it here.
***** Can't really say. It's just a matter of personal taste. It sounded kind of course, falsetto and nasally compared to the beautiful tones he produced earlier (and later)
+garethb1961 really? thats one of the best part of the beatles for me lol... john and pauls coarse gritty voice at times... it doesnt get any better
+django chubbinz All of thats good but IMO Pauls best vocal performance has to be on Jet from band on the run.
Nah. Long Tall Sally, I'm Down, Sgt. Pepper, all the way to the other side of the spectrum with Yesterday. Personally, yeah, Elvis was 'The King,' but he couldn't write his own stuff, and became a caricature of himself in his later years. And Paul only made 2 bad movies.
McCartney was an artist who had the good sense to love those before him and to compliment them in a most sincere fashion.
Realy.. Doctor 😷🤕🙏
Paul's face, like a kid in a sweet shop! Marvelous.
Paul still with his young perfect voice in this víd! And he look's around 60 years old! That's amazing!
Elvis and McCartney= PERFECTION!!
Elvis and the Beatles were thr two main revolionary in music business in 1960s, Elvis as a solo artist and The Beatles as a band.
Lifelong massive Elvis Presley fan and this was absolutely awesome!
Me too
@@judefernandez827 Anyone who derides this version by Paul is brain dead where music and performance is concerned, and I'm an Elvis fan, Now or Never my fav over some great Opera permances
Watching macca is one of life’s ultimate pleasures and we are forever grateful he exists.
Paul nailed it, he’s amazing
He sounds just like early Elvis. I was blown away. Terrific job!
Not even close.
No tf he doesn’t. 😂
No way, Paul Mcartney is a Beatle and he is gigantic but elvis was ELVIS!
Yes he does. Paul has a wider vocal range than Elvis did. I’m not picking which one’s a better singer. I’m just saying, omg! Stooop!!!!
@@donjohnson7550 Keep dreaming.
One can only hope when it's Paul's time to go he can join Elvis, DJ, Scotty, & Bill in an all eternity jam.
Along with John and George, they're playing with all the rock and roll pioneers such as Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Eddie Cochran
*The drummer :*
_Dominic Joseph ( DJ ) Fontana_ was an American musician best known as the drummer for Elvis Presley for 14 years. In October 1954 he was hired to play drums for Presley, which marked the beginning of a fifteen-year relationship. He played on over 460 RCA cuts with Elvis. Wikipedia
Born: March 15, 1931, Shreveport, LA
Died: June 13, 2018, Nashville, TN
2019
The best singer-bassist of all time. I don't care if you hate him.
John Paul Jones rings a bell?
@@GeoZeppelin1979 but Robet Plant sang lead. Im talking bout a singer-bassist
Paul is dead. Billy Shears is what is now.
You left out “greatest songwriter of all time”
Absolutely!
The man on guitar 🎸 invented rock n roll with Elvis the man on bass renovated it ❤️ happy Birthday Pauli !
The voice of a generation ..Elv- i mean PAUL
Oh man he's got a great voice for this!
Wonderful to hear a bunch of "geezers" sounding so great. In January 2019 I spotted a billboard for a McCartney concert. I was in a small bus going to the airport in Santiago Chile. International appeal for a true craftsman.
I have heard "thats alright" many many times. And I have to give credit to McCartney. He does an excellent job in capturing the song. I'd really like to hear some more Elvis songs from him!
I heard Paul wrote Name and address for Elvis, but unfortunatly it was 2 late
Absolutely loved this, thank you Paul............Scotty and DJ.......RIP Scotty, and of course, the King. At the age of 14, I was actually one of the first to purchase those 45's..........Yeah, all from SUN. The King changed the World, before the music was by Patti Page, HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGY IN THE WINDOW. THANK GOD, and they didn't run Elvis out of town.
R.I.P. Dominic Fontana. The last surviving of Elvis original band.
And he looks so good
They're all together again, makin music up there.
Paul does Bill Black and Elvis
@@jimroveto1543 No, they aren't.
Allan, you're mistaken. D.J. played with Elvis, Scotty and Bill in May of 1955. But he didn't become part of the band as a regular until August of 1955. Scotty, Bill and Elvis were together since July of 1954. so really 13 months later is when Fontana became a band member.
R.I.P. D.J. Fontana. So glad these three greats got to play together on this Earth.
Thank you for giving due to Elvis' great drummer.
It's hard to grant the wish of someone who's had everything. But there it is.
Looks like that singer has some talent. He should perform at some talent show. Maybe he will be famous some day. Mark my words.
One great legend doing a cover on another legend. What more can we ask for???
In honor of Scotty Moore, Elvis' guitarist, who passed on June 28, 2016. P. McCartney recording with the legendary guitarist doing " That's All Mama" which would greatly influence The Beatles. Moore became an inspiration to many subsequent popular guitarists, including Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Page, and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Richards "Everyone else wanted to be Elvis-I wanted to be Scotty." From the "Good Rockin' Tonite" DVD. ruclips.net/video/tDWfOSKccLM/видео.html

Sure, Elvis was great, Scotty Moore was great, Paul McCartney is great. But the world seems to forget about the poor mistreated African American, who migrated from the south, to Chicago. Trying to better his life. The guy who wrote the damn song, Arthur Big Boy Crudup. Another great to add to the list. Let's not forget, the foundation. Look him up.
How long did Scotty play with Elvis, I understand that James Burton was also lead for Elvis.
Rick Have to look up timeframes but Elvis had 3 legends play regularly with him, Scotty, Hank and James..some overlapping too. Scotty left along with DJ or Bill Black (can't remember...probably Bill) probably over strain with management, not Elvis. Hank Garland took over. They were both so good that Elvis' appreciativeness had them both play different sessions or venues when Scotty came back. Hank stopped probably after his serious car wreck..don't know why Scotty stopped. James Burton was 70's and Vegas years more or less. I forget who did the '68 comeback..Scotty I think??? Anyway, Scotty and Elvis will always be the mythical team despite all 3 being legendary with him. In my mind..Scotty 1950's, Hank 1960's, James 1970's.
@@Rick-or2kq Scotty played live and in the studio with EP from 1954 to 1968 !...In 1969, EP asked Scotty and DJ and the Jordanaires to all go with him for the month long new gig in Vegas, 2 shows a night.....none of them had been "on the road" since 1958, when EP went into the Army, and they all declined EP's offer...said they were "too old" to go on tour again....EP said to Scotty, "Man, what will i DO without all of you?"....Scotty said "I'll call Ricky Nelson's old guitarist. You remember James Burton. He can put together a band for you." That is from Scotyt's book "That's Alright, Elvis."
I'm so glad that Paul sings the nice song called "that's all right mama" which Elvis had sung before.
Of course, Paul's singing is as marvelous as Elvis!
He has brought an additioal value into this song.
Next, I'd like to hope that Paul will sing Elvis' thrilling song called "One night" that makes us feel "Rhythm and Blues" spirit.
From Tokyo
Arfhur Cradup wrote and sang this song i in the 1940's . great Blues Singer
Elvis was a charismatic talented entertainer and PC a brilliant songwriter. Elvis had such a powerful voice.
Paul never forgets his original inspirations it amazing that such a talented writer and performer still enjoys his early heros a true genius.
Big smile on my face watching this (just saw the new Elvis movie).
Paul con los músicos de Elvis, que maravillosa reunión y que buen sonido.
I think it's gonna be a hit!
Elvis really was the King. I didn't understand that until I was older.
He’s got to be the best Elvis impersonator I’ve ever heard!
That cat can sing 🎵
Would have been nice if Macca did an LP with them.....RIP Scotty Moore and Bill Black! Great solo!
3 masters and pioneers of the modern music world, singing the first recording of that era!!
What a treat!!!!
Love it! Glad I found this! Love Paul's voice in this!
scotty moore still gettin' it done at what? 80? awesome......
Watching Paul emulate Elvis is GOLD
Excellent work by Paul and Elvis' band! Sure Elvis would be proud!
The world loves Paul McCartney.And if we’re going to talk about ego’s, which is not fair, let’s be frank no one had a bigger ego than Elvis.I recorded that song on my iPhone I’d love Paul to take a listen
Este documento es una mina de Oro realizado por los tres más grandes músicos...un ex Beatle y dos músicos originales que grabaron este tema que popularizó el Rey Elvis Presley......!!!
Te equivocas, D. J. Fontana no participó en la grabación del original That's all right mama de 1954, puesto que al comienzo no tenían un batería, en la banda sólo estaban, Elvis, Scotty y Black. Fontana se añadió después al grupo.
If someone has to cover an Elvis arrangement , it might as well be these guys....so good!
Yea, close your eyes and listen and Paul's voice is very much like Elvis's,
For goodness sake - the king was 19 and just getting started. At that time in the fifties they really hit the mark. It is more than 60 years ago.
Easy to compare the two.
Elvis??
Arthur Crudup sang this first 1946
Thank you very much.
that was amazing. truly spectacular in every way. Scotty & Paul.....wow.
God almighty, Scotty is in top form, flawless and smooth as butter
Great cover, only Paul could pull it off like that.
This is an exceptionally special video. I am very disappointed, Pedro, that you have not acknowledged that 2 of Elvis's original musicians are playing here with Paul while he is singing their, and Elvis's, first hit record. Scotty Moore the unique guitarist, and the drummer Dominic Fontana.
So love the way Paul honoured these two, with this recording, at the sunset of their musical lives - which makes 'Mama' their first and their last recording, both performed with a top icon of the music world.
What a treat! ... This video just popped up in my "recommended" list ...... THANK GOD! Awesome!
Brilliant, thank you for this video, Brilliant. ❤
Paul McCartney with Elvis Song and Band Members !! Awesome!!!!
Ну как в одном человеке столько умения и таланта. Что петь что играть что дружить что сочинять. Божья милость благодать.
Three legends honoring the greatest entertainer to ever pick up a guitar!
Thanks so much for posting this. A brilliant performance from Macca - and it was a first take (the film that this comes from, 'Good Rockin' Tonight', is like three films in one; highly recommended).
