First Session with Scotty and Bill
In early July 1954, Sun Studio’s owner Sam Phillips set up a meeting between Elvis – a young unknown singer – and two talented musicians: Scotty Moore and Bill Black. The three met at Moore’s house on July 4 and experimented with a few slow ballads. Following the uneventful rehearsal, Moore called Phillips and remarked that Elvis had a good voice.
So the next day, Phillips invited the trio to his studio to perform together. Self-conscious and nervous, Elvis stumbled though a series of pop and country songs, but Phillips wasn’t interested in recording something he’d heard before. Though it was getting late, he told the guys to take a break.
During the break, Elvis starting banging on his guitar and singing the old blues song, “That’s All Right, Mama.” An electricity filled the air and Scotty and Bill both immediately picked up their instruments and joined in. It was a fast, upbeat style none had ever heard before, and Phillips excitedly turned on recording equipment to capture the pivotal moment that some consider to be the start of Rock ‘n’ Roll revolution.
They all knew they’d been part of something big that night. Black remarked, “Get that on the radio and they’ll run us out of town.” And a couple days later, Phillips did get the song on the radio, creating a frenzy in Memphis. The song played 14 times in one night and the station was flooded with requests. The song was officially released on July 19 and sold about 20,000 copies. Though it wasn’t enough to get on the national charts, it reached number 4 on the Memphis charts.
