Yeah, the guy was the sound. I found out later that he was not with Elvis at one point and now I have to look and listen to those records. I just remember Scotty from the old days and eventually I didn't listen to Elvis any more. Maybe it was the time he got replaced I don't know why Elvis didn't insist on taking Scotty and the boys with him. I guess we all make mistakes in life. I wonder if he regretted it or didn't care. Did he know that Scotty was the sound of his records? Interesting question for me. I know that Scotty had that magical sound that I thought was cool. But I didn't know anything about Scotty when I heard the records in the 50s. I barely knew who Elvis was.
@@alext9067 Yeah, the band in the 70s , the guitarist was trying to copy scotty on a strat and didnt sound the same. I always felt that Scotty was always "the adult in the room" and kept things grounded!
Ah it's great to see Scotty Moore and dj fontana who i met in 1990 in the haven holiday park Norfolk in England it was at an elvis week festival and it was a great elvis week there
I always thought everything Elvis ever did good, even his movie's I thought was good some better than others, even though I know Elvis really didn't like them to much but I was a kid back then and I couldn't wait to get in front of the TV when a Elvis movie came on, the first record I ever bought on my own was me and my sister collecting soda bottle for a week to get it and I was proud and all my friends was envious cause I had the first Elvis record in the neighborhood.

Elvis was under the impression he chose his own songs to record, The Colonel would give him around 30 songs which Colonel had already got the publishing rights for and out of the 30 songs Elvis would go thru the tunes and pick around 12 for the album, in his mind that is him choosing the songs for the album, in reality the 12 were songs the Colonel had chose, Elvis only chose the songs he didn't record, all those good songs like Ghetto, Kentucky Rain, Suspicious minds later on were Elvis' sole choice, he wised up, still best artist/manager team in history.....They all did mostly right though, I can't see Bieber or Ed Sheeran having their own movie and still being played daily in 2074.
to everyone saying negative things about red: look, in george's book, red comes up to george @ a golf course and tells george that he (red) wished he was never part of that book deal and was very sorry for his involvement. did any of you haters know about that?? george even said that after that book came out, he was no longer friends because of that, but has since forgiven red and so has joe and jerry and the other guys.
carolki13 After he eat the money from that book , and destroyed his best friend.Come one stop defending those bastards, you can like them and that's your opinion, but I as Elvis fan I know how upset and hurt Elvis was about that book , he was worried about what his fans gonna think about him after they read the book.I don't care if George and Joe or Jerry forgive them. I'm Elvis fan and I will never forgive them , ever!
King Creole stunk. Elvis was wild, young, and raw in Love me Tender. He was terrific in Jailhouse Rock. The songs were excellent! Loving you was so great . The songs were very good and Elvis was young, handsome, and the film was in color. King Creole: the songs stunk. The studio insisted that the music sound Dixieland! The story was long and senseless. The leading lady was unattractive and too old for Elvis. The movies pace was slow!
Jailhouse Rock was his best film, in my opinion. Elvis' acting was well suited to the role, the songs were great, the story made sense, and Judy Tyler was a wonderful actress.
the first rock n roll band ever made (elvis ,scotty,bill,dj fontana ) legends !!!
rest in peace George, Scotty and my friend Fontana who I met many times !! you guys will be missed, the world will never be te same !
Rest in peace Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana.
The band is now reformed on the other side.
So much respect for Scotty Moore.......he was the lynch pin in the dynamite.....astounding guitarist
Yeah, the guy was the sound. I found out later that he was not with Elvis at one point and now I have to look and listen to those records.

Yep same here. I was 11 when he did the live show from Hawaii in 1973 and I watched it on TV. As kids we loved Elvis movies...hahaha!
@@generalpatzer6893 I was 13 in 73 and i watched it to, anything Elvis was cool back in the day and those were the days as the saying goes.
I love ALL of his movies
We get to stare at Elvis and watch him walk, talk, and sing.we would have less to see of Elvis without the movies
Any other interviews with Scotty and D.J. together? This is beautiful. The part about Scotty getting thrown over the bar! :'D
I love Scotty Moore
thanks george for all these great interview clips! love the book! you and jerry should do an elvis movie together :)
They were a Fab Four! The Colonel should have kept them together.

W mlodosci wszyscy mu zazdroscili, a pozniej wszyscy byli juz zawistni, a na koncu to juz byla obsesja zawisci !!!!
George asking questions but they never finished their answers and they got this music playing over them can barely hear them
you gotta remember elvis died in 77 so when they say girls they mean it..
to everyone saying negative things about red: look, in george's book, red comes up to george @ a golf course and tells george that he (red) wished he was never part of that book deal and was very sorry for his involvement. did any of you haters know about that?? george even said that after that book came out, he was no longer friends because of that, but has since forgiven red and so has joe and jerry and the other guys.

He's really friends I think 😂
the audio sucks on this...wtf?
You are doing an interview and you got to have obnoxious music playing so loud you can barely hear these guys
Was soll diese Musik während des Interviews?
King Creole stunk. Elvis was wild, young, and raw in Love me Tender. He was terrific in Jailhouse Rock. The songs were excellent! Loving you was so great . The songs were very good and Elvis was young, handsome, and the film was in color. King Creole: the songs stunk. The studio insisted that the music sound Dixieland! The story was long and senseless. The leading lady was unattractive and too old for Elvis. The movies pace was slow!
I agree too, my favorite actreese is Dolores Hart
King creole was very good drama with beautiful songs
You would think George Klein would wear a tie he looks ridiculous in that shirt
When DJ was buried they had a separate coffin for his wig.
Why is that?Does he wear a wig?
🤣😂👏
Ouch
Elvis was the greatest, but his movies were miserable.
If making you feel happy is miserable...
Not all of the them, some movies are ok and with great songs too
Jailhouse Rock was his best film, in my opinion. Elvis' acting was well suited to the role, the songs were great, the story made sense, and Judy Tyler was a wonderful actress.
I loved his movies
they were "musicals" so you gte artificial songs inserted....Crosby and Sinatra and Fred Astaire did a lot of musicals too.
