Bill Black's Combo - Don't Be Cruel

Memphis 1954:
A kid named Elvis Presley kept pestering Sam Phillips to sign him to his Sun Records label. Sam asked his friend Scotty Moore to check him out. Scotty had been hanging around the studio himself for a while, and Sam had just issued a single by Moore's band The Starlight Wranglers that May. On June 27th, Scotty agreed to let Presley come over his house and 'try out', calling his best friend, and bass player for the Wranglers, Bill Black to come over as well. Even though Bill told Phillips that Elvis "didn't impress me too damned much!", Sam signed him anyway.

I met Bill in the 60's. I was then singing back-up with a vocal group around American Recordings studio. Bill asked me to join him at his studio (Lynn Lou). I did, and enjoyed co-writing several songs with him. Even though Isaac Hayes (Bubba) tried to get me to go with him to stax Records, I stayed with Bill until his passing. He was a dear man, and treated me like a father. I will always miss him. Eddie Lanehart
