Enjoy this recording of Elvis' introduction at the Lousiana Hayride when he was just 19 years old. On stage with him were Scotty Moore (on guitar) and Bill Black (on bass). Scotty and Bill were Elvis' original band, known as the Blue Moon Boys. The three of them were in on it together -- so much credit belongs to Scotty and Bill. True American icons and legends of American music history.
