Elvis was not the King

Elvis was the King of promoting himself and living off the songwriting talent of others. He did not write his own songs?????? how is this man a legend????? A great performer...yes...a great musician....well no..... he was the king of cover or karaoke . To stand on the pedestal he occupies i think that you should at the very least write, record and perform your own songs.

  1. King of Karaoke...ouch...if you ever make a trip to Graceland, be sure not to say that out loud! But you do raise some valid points-especially about the idea that he didn't write his own songs, which at that point was kind of a staple about emerging rock 'n' roll musicians.
