My Take
Scotty Moore is one of those names I think deserves far more recognition than he gets. As the guitarist who helped form Elvis Presley's Blue Moon Boys in 1954 and stayed at his side through 1968, he was quite literally present at the birth of rock and roll. The detail I keep coming back to is the claim that he invented power chords on Jailhouse Rock in 1957, a building block of everything heavy that followed. His 2000 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame feels earned. To me he embodies the sideman whose fingerprints are all over a sound the world remembers, even if the spotlight stayed elsewhere.
