"When I was called to make my first record, I went into the studio and they told me what they wanted me to sing and how they wanted me to sing it. Well, I tried it their way, but it didn't work out so good. So while most of 'em were sitting around resting, a couple of us just started playing around with 'That's All Right', a great beat number. We were supposed to be resting for ten minutes or so, so we just did it natural. It came off pretty good.." - Elvis, August 1956.
That beautiful understatement from Elvis describes the magic moment in July 1954 when he, Scotty Moore & Bill Black just "stumbled upon" the sound that would be the key to unlock the door of a culturally stagnant post-war Middle America.
This would be the keystone of Rock n' Roll. This would change pop music culture, youth expectation and our world forever.
