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.
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.
