Scotty Moore

Winfield Scott "Scotty" Moore III (born December 27, 1931) is an American guitarist and recording engineer. He is best known for his backing of Elvis Presley in the first part of his career, between 1954 and the beginning of Elvis's Hollywood years. He was ranked 29th in Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2011. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Memphis Music Hall of Fame in 2015.

Biography

Scotty Moore was born near Gadsden, Tennessee. He learned to play the guitar from family and friends at eight years of age. Although underage when he enlisted, Moore served in the United States Navy between 1948 and 1952.

Moore's early background was in jazz and country music. A fan of guitarist Chet Atkins, Moore led a group called the "Starlite Wranglers" before Sam Phillips at Sun Records put him together with then teenage Elvis Presley. Phillips believed that Moore's lead guitar and Bill Black's double bass were all that was needed to augment Presley's rhythm guitar and lead vocals on their recordings. In 1954 Moore and Black accompanied Elvis on what would become the first legendary Presley hit, the Sun Studios session cut of "That's All Right (Mama)", a recording regarded as a seminal event in rock and roll history. Elvis, Black and Moore then formed the Blue Moon Boys.

Famous quotes by Scotty Moore:

"I forget what the official name of it was, but they did an all-day of roots music - every kind of music you can imagine from around the country - New Orleans Jazz to Indian flute players, R&B, you name it. I met and became good friends with (blues guitar player) Joe Louis Walker. He was on the show."
"We were fortunate to be there a day or two before "the big bang" and then we got the heck out of town."
"I'm real proud of the fact that I believe that whatever kind of music a person likes, I believe he'll find at least one cut on there to really enjoy."
"It was way out in the woods in a beautiful, huge log studio. Keith Richards came in and did the vocals with Levon. Again, a big party, but we did get a good cut out of it."
"There's nothing definite yet. Of course, any time you have a book, there's going to be book signings and stuff. We'll do bookstores that handle both audio and video. And some of the stores want to have the CDs available at the same time. So that part looks real good."
"is a fine entertainer, respectfully re-creating the image."
"Anybody who wasn't a fan of Gate, well, there's something wrong with them. He covered all genres and did them all great. It never matter whether it was on guitar or fiddle. He had a style all his own, and he had the longest fingers under the sun...."

Ciego de Amor

by: Aventura

Viejo sientese un momento
Escuche mi tormento
Urgentemente le tengo que hablar
Anoche lo vi con su adorada
De la que tanto me habla
Ay hombe le tengo que decir
Es la misma maldita mujer
La que viste y calza de pies
La que penetro y le acaricio la piel
Y obviamente lo mismo hace usted
Mi hijo esto no tiene sentido
Estas muy confundido
Esa mujer es mia y nadie mas
A otra se te esta pareciendo
Pero muy bien te entiendo
De pieza es una equivocacion
La conosco bastante lo se
Y no la creo capaz de que me sea infiel
Soy tu padre tienes que entender
No es la misma se puede parecer
No seas terco padre mio
Como la voy a confundir
Desde niÑo nunca cambias
Digo no y tu dices si
Lo respeto viejo mio
Pero tengo la razon
Ya te dije, lo repito
Es una equivocacion
Ella se burla de ti y de mi
Somos un chiste
Y la hacemos reir
Me duele pensar que si
Pero si esto es cierto hasta puedo morir
Nadie se muere de amor
Usted ha sido mi ejemplo
Y me ha dado valor
Quiero creer tu version
Pero en este momento
Estoy muy ciego de amor
(anthony)
Es la misma maldita mujer
La que viste y calza de pies
La que penetro y le acaricio la piel
Y obviamente lo mismo hace usted
Mi hijo esa mujer me ama
Y creo en sus palabras
Me pones entre la espada y la pared
Por dios tu niÑo no te miente
Olvidemos esa mujer
No es lo mismo un ciego
Que no querer ver
La conosco bastante lo se
Y no la creo capaz de que me sea infiel
Soy tu padre tienes que entender
No es la misma se pueden parecer
No seas terco padre mio
Como la voy a confundir
Desde niÑo nunca cambias
Digo no y tu dices si
Lo respeto viejo mio
Pero tengo la razon
Ya te dije, lo repito
Es una equivocacion
Ella se burla de ti y de mi
Somos un chiste
Y la hacemos reir
Me duele pensar que si
Pero si esto es cierto hasta puedo morir
Nadie se muere de amor
Usted ha sido mi ejemplo
Y me ha dado valor
Quiero creer tu version
Pero en este momento
