Jerry Obern Scheff is an American bassist, perhaps best known for his work with
Elvis Presley (in the early 1970s Scheff was a member of Elvis'
TCB Band) and his work on
The Doors final recordings. In later years Scheff worked with Willy DeVille, Bob Dylan, John Denver, Elvis Costello (touring as
Elvis Costello & The Confederates), Sam Phillips, Richard Thompson, and many other artists. One of Scheff's two sons,
Jason Scheff, has been the bassist for the band
Chicago since 1985; he co-wrote the song "Bigger Than Elvis" as a tribute to his father.
