Tbh im not a major liker of Elvis and same with a lot of the Rockabillies i know online, they arent fans, out of the Sun records stable i much prefer Johnny Cashs stuff

I'll stick with  JLL being the King of Rock n Roll.

Johnny Cash being a very very close second.

The Big O beating the lot of them (including Elvis) voice wise.

Keep safe out there 8)

Elvis had talent to be sure (great voice, stage presence, hip gyrations, lip curl) but I've never really thought of him as a top rock'n'roller.

 

Of the old guard, I'll go for Bo Diddley, JLL, Chuck Berry and Cash.

Don't forget this guy. J.P Richardson - The Big Bopper.

Too much talent and mischief for this World RIP.

63 years ago since Buddy Holly and Richie Valens died RIP 3/2/59 the day the music died your music lives on 8).

 

Enjoy these from the Bopper.

Out of tune Frank Sinatra was over rated,  if it wasn't  Mafia backed  he wouldn't have gone as far,  for example they made sure he got a part,  in From here to eternity ect,  Give me Matt Monroe anytime, ten times better than Sinatra.  .  Elvis couldn't act for toffee but at least he admitted  it,  most of is films were rubbish , he also admitted that too. Compared with the garbage these days you can't  blame a young skint truck driver for as far as he got and inspire millions in the music buisness.
