Can you name the three musicians who started out with Elvis Presley in the mid 50’s?

One played upright bass, one played drums and the other electric guitar! You would almost have to be 65 to 70 years of age to remember them or be a musical historian!
Bill Black , DJ Fontana and Scotty Moore

hello there,
what is wrong with being old ??
Bill Back (bass), Scotty Moore (guitar) and DJ Fontana (drums)
and before that there was the beautiful world of big band Jazz, but that high point was in the 30s and 40s – the best music ever.
But in the early Fifties, Rock and Roll started and that music faded away, just as the crooners did.
And the music now is something they put together in a computer, but still they call it music. Why ??

Bill Black played upright bass.
D. J. Fontana, from Shreveport, Louisiana where I live now, played
drums.
Scotty Moore played lead electric guitar.
Note: James Burton, who played lead guitar for Elvis’ band from 1969
to 1977 also is a native of Shreveport and lives here now.
Elvis had other musicians on his some of his studio recordings. One
of the best known lead guitar players in the world who played for Elvis
was Reggie Young.
