Scotty Moore – The Last Man Standing By Phil Arnold
What qualifies Scotty Moore as a
National Historic Person? Well,
let’s see. On The other three men there that
historic night are all dead. Bill
Black died in 1965, Elvis passed away in 1977, and Sam Phillips left us
in 2003. That’s too bad,
because the session when “That’s All Right” was recorded was a
very special moment in history. Three
men gone, only one left.
Scotty Moore, the
last man standing. It is now 53 years since that magic
moment, and it’s nice to know that Scotty is still alive and well.
Don’t count on seeing him at many more Elvis Weeks.
It might happen, it might not.
But we know one thing for sure.
We can see him this year. Scotty
is headlining two tribute concerts at Elvis Week 2007. Those fans that admire and cherish
Scotty Moore were thrilled to hear they could catch him on Wednesday,
August 15, at the Peabody Hotel. To
you folks that are going to Elvis Week but haven’t yet decided what to
see, I’m telling you, buy tickets to one of Scotty’s two shows.
They are going to be great. Scotty Moore – The Last Man Standing
is a unique concert concept. Both

Scotty has a recording studio in his
home, and he has had a blast with a group of Here’s a rundown of the men in
“The Mighty Handful.” The
biggest name is sax player supreme, Boots Randolph, like Scotty, another
legend. He will steal the
show, just like he always does. Billy
Swan will do the vocals. Billy
has tremendous stature among the Just seeing these guys would be enough
for me, but there is more -- another group of Scotty’s buddies, this
one from
On the DVD, A Tribute To The
King,
Scotty and The Grundy Pritchard Band did a superb job on six Elvis
rockabilly and blues songs. They
covered “Shake, Rattle, and Roll,” “A Mess of the Blues,” “
One Night,” “I Forgot To Remember To Forget,” “Reconsider
Baby,” and “Ready Teddy.” The
music was tight, Ansell’s vocals were dead-on, and the end result was
very impressive. So, if you want some good
entertainment at Elvis Week, take in the double concert Scotty Moore –
The Last Man Standing. Join
his many fans in honoring and appreciating him while you still can.
Scotty may not have official recognition as a National Historic
Person, but he truly is a national treasure.
Scotty’s long-time friend Darwin
Lamm, Editor of Elvis…The Magazine, is presenting these concerts.
