  Synopsis Details Reviews  
Scotty Moore listened carefully to the shy young Elvis sing and immediately realized that this teenager had something special. Along with bass player Bill Black, the trio went into Sun Studios and recorded an old blues number called "That's Alright, Mama." Its success launched a whirlwind of touring, radio appearances, and Elvis' first break into movies. Scotty was there every step of the way and tells the story of how Elvis transformed popular music.
