from Today in Elvis History · host Evin 'Elvis' Breen-Presley
It's January thirty-first, and on this day in 1955… Scotty Moore—Elvis’s lead guitarist and first manager—sat down to tally the group’s January earnings from their whirlwind month of touring. The total came to \$2,083.63, a sizable haul for a band still on the rise. After expenses, Elvis took home 50 percent, while Moore and bassist Bill Black each received 25 percent. It was a glimpse of things to come, as the band’s momentum—and Elvis’s stardom—were only just beginning to snowball.
