The dude knew exactly how to market himself, he created a ROCK revolution! He definitely earned the moniker "the King of Rock"! Excellent stage performer, ahead of his time, died way too young..

His stuff still holds up to today, the signature of an icon, dude created an entire genre of music..

Well if those black musicians were any good they woulda been king. If theyv were smart there is as thing called a copywrite.

Comes off a little racist...

Big momma Thornton wasn't king because white america needed a white artist. Elvis and Pat Boone filled the shoes of the black musicians(for the record companies) so whites could listen to black sounding music without having to listen to a black artist.

This is a much better version IMO... just because its popular doesn't mean it's the best...
