Wow, looks like "Scotty Moore" here swapped his guitar for Chuck Berry's ES-335. Nit-picking from me, but it really wouldn't have been hard to get the details right, or at least use a single cutaway.
@elvisandgladys; NO, it's the Actor Michael St. Gerard who portrayed Elvis in the CBS TV Mini-series, '' ELVIS, the Early Years ". Priscilla Presley picked Michael St. Gerard for the part because he was the one that looked the most like Elvis at that age! Ronnie McDowell did all the singing in the Series.
Im sorry but ronny mcdowell didnt sound anything like Elvis. I guess back then people didnt have many options to know better. Not like theres any real good one out right now anyway
yeah,..this was a made-for-t.v. Elvis Story with Micheal St. Gerrad (sp'?) as Elvis, and I believe Ronnie McDowell did the vocals. They got all of the equipment and time-line details wrong, lol.
thanks I met scotty moore in memphis in the 80's His early style was chrismatic. He sang inkspots tunes first and was a hillbilly krooner. ballads LIKE " MY HAPPINESS" " THAT'S WHEN YOUR HEARTACHES BEGIN" but when he sang the blues in a spritual way people listened and took notice he was right I DON'T SOUND LIKE ANYBODY
the comments od some are right on ELVIS USED A MARTIN GUITAR DIDN'T WHERE A MOTORCYCLE JACKET TO SUN STUDIO A GIBSON ES-295 GUITAR WAS USED ON THE FIRST FOUR SUN RECORDS ANYBODY CARE TO DISPUTE THAT
@ecamberos yeah but that was in the 60's. He definitely wasnt wearing that in 1954. In fact, I dont think he ever wore leather in the 50's. He was more into suits and dress shirts
Some verisimilitude called for here, it wouldn't have been all that much effort to get some realism in the details. Ends up being sorta weird. Dude does resemble Sam Phillips I'll grant that much.
Witaj ,powiem szczerze,że choć Elvisem interesuję się od 1977 roku,jednak wolę twoje wykonanie Good Rockin Tonight .Duża ocena z mojej strony pozdrawiam serdecznie (Poland)
The guy playing Elvis in this video is Michael St. Gerard. He played Elvis in a couple of movies and short lived series about the singer in the 80's. This is probably a clip from one of those. He left acting in the 90's and is now a minister based in Harlem.
amerkans shuld not try to do something like that it locks stupid and sounds stupid in england they can di it better americans make it locks and sound stupid
OK I did my reasearch the actor is Michael St. Gerard and the song is performed by Ronnie Mcdowell who is the country artist who had a hit with "Older Women" and a remake of "Its Only Make Believe" which was originally done by Conway Twitty
.Scotty moore con una 335 o 350 post '62 (come mi sembra di vedere dalle spalle mancanti più aguzze rispetto ai modelli antecedenti e in più con suono orribile...!!!??? bill black che accenna appena un timido slap..e tralasciando la penosa chitarra di elvis, sicuramente non la stupenda gibson..., la giacca di pelle durante le registrazioni.... complimenti al consulente storico del film!!! qualcuno appoggia il mio pensiero?
sui suoni nn esprimo commenti...ma il chiodo durante la registrazione a che cazzo serve?? nn credo ke elvis abbia un freddo da indossare il giubotto di pelle e il contrabbassista stia a mezze maniche.....mah
yes he did many times... guess you never saw the 68 comeback show? he had one on the whole show along with the best songs he ever played.. baby what you want me to do
yea man he wore a leather jacket. as a matter of fact when he first auditioned for SUN he wore his motorcycle jacket. but sun made him loose the jacket after a few shows cause supposably it signified "Rebellion" so he didnt wear it again till 62'. but he did. it just never was shown too much.
@orkothegreat ; How do you know that he didn't ??? Were You there at that time? I know for a fact and so do Millions of other people that He did wear a all Black Leather Suit for his ' 68 TV ComeBack Special!
@orkothegreat ; Just because there was never any photos taken of Elvis with him wearing a leather jacket does not mean that he did not have one or it does not say that he never wore one to the Sun Studio.In fact, if you read thru ALL the comments, some say that he did have a leather jacket and that he did wear it sometimes to the Sun Studio.
@elviscash56 but Elvis recorded Good Rockin' Tonight in 1954, when he was about 19. He wore dressy/baggy slacks and suits during the '50's, not leather jackets. He did wear one for the '68 comeback and his 1964 movie Roustabout though.
@tastaru; It's NOT a Movie! It was a TV Mini-Series that starred Michael St. Gerard as Elvis in the CBS TV Mini-Series, '' ELVIS, the Early Years ''.
wow, its not over done, usually you see impersnators over do the lip the acsent and the danceing, but this was good, sounded pretty close too. the only thing that cot my eye was that elvis wouldnt have wore a leather jacket recording,lol.
Martin FONTAINE can do Elvis correctly with respect, the 50s,60s,70s.That's the difference with others Impersonators.Also,Martin can do others singers,not only the KING.

@money0395 It's got 33 now. U mad?? In all seriousness, it's a pretty unauthentic performance:
Elvis' Leather outfit dates from 1968, not the 50's. In the 50's he mostly wore suit jackets in the 50's.
The acoustic bass sounds like an electric bass.
Scotty Moore never played a double cutaway thinline guitar, During the 50's he played mostly L-5 and Super 400 archtops.
