Thx for posting this, had the honor & pleasure of performing & traveling with DJ & his lovely wife Karen for several years. DJ was such a cool guy. Miss him!
Thank you! To meet D.J. Fontana was a fantastic moment for me, and to play Elvis´ hit songs together, has become one of my greatest musical experiences! / Nils
D.J ajudou a criar o estilo de bateria para o ritmo que nascia naqueles anos 50. Totalmente diferente dos grandes bateristas de jazz e big bands, a bateria começa a "conversar" mais com o vocal do que com os outros in strumentos. Ele influenciou muitos bateristas que começavam no rock naquela época e posteriormente.
Hello from England ELVIS died 2 days before my 12th birthday. I have been a FAN ever since. OH MY Having watched lots of videos about ELVIS and his "backstory" they make me think so much more of the years that have passed, even from the start of the live shows in 69 not to mention the 50's DJ joined Bill and Scotty in 1955 but even then ELVIS had "MADE IT" BIG. I know DJ died over 3 years ago now but its great to see him playing back in 2005. I have started to collect vintage ELVIS vinyl albums
