In 1956, DJ Alan Freed said that LRichard is the real solid rocker. Little Richard is explosive and charismatic. His ostrageous personality captured the music´s rebbelious spirit and his franticallly piano playing and raspy, shouted vocals defined its sound. Little richard is the real king of rock and roll. He was the symbol of rejection. Elvis was the symbol of conformity.
Hi, Trust me, I love Elvis. I love "they Remind Me Too Much Of You". Elvis was the FOUNDER of a new industry. He could play four instruments. Was an amazing stage personae. Copied and copied. A great actor when he had a decent script and director. A true origninator. Was the King of Pop. Richard was/is the King of Rock. Richard came after Elvis only commercially. He was doing Tutti Frutti in clubs before Elvis was signed at Sun. Was with RCA-Camden in 1951.
Elvis's vocals are astounding. He just makes it sounds so easy most people miss the astounding greatness of it. Many studied vocalists and scholars, even at Harvard have described his voice as a phenomenon and describe it as one of the greatest voices if not the greatest voice of all time. Yep this is true. I have dozens of quotes to back this up. I was happy when Q Magazine named Elvis as the greatest voice of all time!
Elvis the King shows solidarity with The Lion King with his lion mane of hair. Which proves once and for all that the Tucson massacre, which happened on Elvis's birthday, was on behalf of The Circle of Life. If you torture animals, CongressJew Giffords, with kosher slaughter, you have to expect instant karma. Be sure to tell all your Jewish friends the good news.
@ensconse Not true. Little Richard and Chuck Berry learned from Elvis. That's reality. It's exactly why Chuck Berry said "Elvis is the greatest that ever was, is, or ever will be".
Elvis recorded first groundbreaking RocknRoll songs (a blend of country and R&B) in 1954. Little R came along later as did Chuck B, whose first song, Maybellene, was a white country song. Little R was a big failure even on the R&B charts until he adapted to the revolutionary style of music that EP introduced in 1954.
Elvis The King of Music. The only singer able to sing in different styles of music. If it was not for Elvis, singers and bands like Michael Jackson, Beatles and others would have never existed. Jacksons and the Beatles did not had a good voice, but because of Elvis era when the world was looking for more Elvis type singers, they became famous. long Live The King! ELVIS PRESLEY. Love from Iran.
The only man in history in four Music Halls of Fame..yes that's FOUR. He is a Genius. More people tuned in to the Aloha special (1.5 billion) than man's first steps on the moon (1.2 bil). Lennon said "if there hadn't been Elvis there wouldn't be the Beatles." Dylan, Elton John, Robert Plant, Bruce Springsteen, Brian Wilson and many more say he is the best ever. Little Richard"he's God-given, there's no other explanation." No other artist or group can even touch the legendary status of Elvis
if he was around now, and came out say a year ago he wouldn't be that big. he idn'twrite songsd, didn't compose, wasn' a great musician. it was perfect timing
if he came out now he wouldnt inspire the 60s which wouldnt inspire the70s and 80s which inspired the 90s which are going around today and inspiring todays rock
and he wrote 2/3 of his songs he was the king so i dont get where ur comin from but good luck with that
Elvis in todays music would be compared to pop singers who did not write or played their music. The Beatles today would be compared to bands to bands that played and wrote their music.
Jay you know Jimi Hendrix has influenced most guitarists after he came out. Just like the songwriters/musicians after the Beatles came out. You should be banned from Youtube for your non-informed opinions. LOL
Hendrix used to play "Tomorrow Never Knows" with "Uranus Rock" in concert. Jay there was one thing to show respect which the people had growing with Elvis and Chuck Berry. Jimi Hendrix was directly influenced by blues musicians, Dylan and the psychedelic era Beatles. Jay you are anal and stop harassing me and everyone else with your bullshit.
If you write so much then you should be able to recognize words without the apostrophes! I choose not to use them cause, 1. this is youtube. 2. I got my Bach. in grahic design with a good! What i got to prove? Besides, i didnt see you put a periods after LOL or commas after Jimi! Who the Fuck you think you are!?!?
All that shit you talking and you cant prove how Jimi is a joke. But you still prove to be a clown that writes books. Thats great!
Told you. Not only that he was 1 of the fathers of Funk. Ask Gorge Clinton who his inspiration to do Funk music came from, Jimi was 1 of the main ones. Im telling you man Jimi was like the Bruce Lee of the guitar! So many diferent styles combined to make his own style. Crazy!
Eric Clapton said he had to take off his trebilo bar once he heard Jimi use it, cause Jimi was to good with it.
My dude, i never said Jimi invented funk by himself, i know James brown and his band with Fred Wesley, Pee Wee Ellis, and Maceo Parker started it. I said he was 1 of the fathers. Never said he did it by himself. And If Elvis didnt come along then rock would of probably been underground instead of as popular. Rock was around before Elvis its just that he made it popular! He didnt contribute musically to the EXTENT of Jimi in any way! Elvis just made it popular! No Elvis=No Jimi=BULLSHIT!
Jimi hendrix himself told that he is influenced by Elvis so NO ELVIS = NO JIMI ! Digest it..
Sorry Elvis has invented rock n roll, rockabilly, before that everything was country or rythm and blues with single back beat.. Elvis has contributed lot!
Look man im not gonna keep on going back and forth with you! Now i knew that you was going to say that, and my answer to that is why wouldnt Jimi look up to him i mean shit! Elvis brought rock&roll to the main stream!! How can you deny him for that? But thats it! not that he had a musical influence! Just influence Jimi to bring his music to the for front, like how Bob Dylan influenced Jimi to write and sing! Elvis gave Jimi the ears to listen to his music! Bottom Line!
I used to think that you are super cool! but you are getting changed now..
See, Elvis had created rock n roll, before that everything was classical, RnB, country.. In fact many white people have also sing blues, but they never got any attention, because they didn't made it as great as Elvis.. That is the real story.
But one thing. You dont know WHAT your talkin about! R&R was around be4 Elvis, fact! Infact it was a term used for ships the way it rocked & rolled in the water, then the term was picked up by Blacks in the 1800's being used in gospel music. The first recording of primitive blues/rock was in 1916 with a song called "The Camp Meeting Jubilee" Not until 1947 when Roy Brown made a bluesy type rock and Wynonie Harris made Roy's song with R&R vibe in 1947
As to when the term was first used, in a modern context a lot of credit has to be given to Alan Freed who used the phrase "rock and roll" in his radio and concert hall shows in the early 50's. But there is also a recording of "Rock & Roll" by the Boswell Sisters recorded almost 20 years earlier, in 1934.
Lol.. BELIEVE WHAT IS REAL!!! Don't go for the claims.. Elvis' that's all right was the first rock n roll... Rolling stones said.. And if remove it. than what about more than 1000 radio stations worldwide? who had celebrated 50th anniversary of rock n roll on 5th july 2004, by saying that elvis had recorded first rock n roll song on this date 5th july in 1954??
Elvis songs had contained "strong back beats", the fusion of 2 back beats..
LOL you believe liberal ass rolling stone Mag.? Please! Get a valid source bra! The Info i gave can be proven in plenty of reliable sources! Ive got an uncle who studies music. You are worng about Elvis starting R&R! But if you want to believe that lie! Then go right ahead and do that! This is america after all.
You die hard Elvis fans cant be told no different even if the proof is DEAD smack in ya face! You should look up what i said before just going off of 1 source! That aint that smart!
Ok well being Elvis made R&R famous and did NOT invent it. I say that Jimi was the KING of R&R because he played it the best! He invented parts of rock that are still being used today(Phycodelic rock, Heavy Metal along with other forms of music!) Most rock stars playing the guitar today try to reach the level of Hendrix- SRV(was the closest), Joe Satriani, Prince and others. Elvis was guitar sinking on some of his shows for crying out loud! Jimi never did shit like that!
But NEVER try to compare him with anyone in guitar, Because he wasn't a guitarist. Elvis is K.O.R and will be because his influence is on hard rock. His music has helped many genres for taking a birth.
Can't you get that jimi hendrix, who had gone in just 27 years of age, is still very much appreciated??? He is best guitarist, and his guitar-art is popularized by whom??? ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE, whom you have insulted.
His music aint help like Jimi's helped thats the truth! Jimi influenced guitarist form before and after him! WTF are u talkin about? He influenced John Lee Hooker, Clapton, Pete Townsen, BB King, Joe Satriani, Steve Ray Vaughn, Jimmy Page! ANY heavy Medal artist! He revolutionize the blues! Funk! R&B. WTF!? You got to be shitting me!! Go learn something will YOU! JIMI KING OF MUSIC!(Fuck rock)
Shut up you Elvis Hoe! Get off Elvis Dick! It would be one thing if you spoke the truth but you coming up with some Left feild bullshit! For the last God DAMN time, their influenced by Elvis in a performance sense! Thats it! Get off my Dick while you at it! Their is no single human on Earth that did was Jimi did on the Electric guitar! Get over it! Its over! No argument here! You Lost! Deal with it! Get a Fucking life! Beat it! Take your thumb out of your ass & go learn about real music u Clown!
Elvis could not even play the guitar and write a song. Jay is the biggest troll. BigstuU25 you are not the only he has bothered. Jay the Beatles and Hendrix are miles ahead of Elvis. Most modern rock bands are influenced by the Beatles. Most guitarist are influenced by Hendrix. The Beatles did not invent Psychedelic Rock they were one of the first and popluarized it. "Tomorrow Never Knows" was recorded in early 1966 almost a half year before Hendrix.
babydickass12, you are troll, cause you makes comments in every elvis video with other 5 accounts.. Beatles has got less influence than rolling stones, who, kinks when its about modern rock.
No anal head you are the one. You say bullshit on the Beatles and everyone is laughing at you. You are the same person said Jimi Hendrix and Brian Wilson were not musicians because they could not read music. I play and you learn by playing and listening to music. The Beatles have been the biggest influence music the last 45 years in Modern Rock. You are the troll.
You have some serious problems. I have been a member here for a period of time. You can't deal with the fact many people like the Beatles more than Elvis. On a poll of musicians in 2004 the Beatles were voted the most influential rock artists ever.
fuck you! You better get off, i mean how you dare to compare that midget(jimi) with giant(elvis)? Your gay obsession is dangeR! You goes to many Elvis videos just for telling with gay opinions that jimi was king of rock...
Get a life, i am not interested with the one who is died about 38 years ago and forgotten!
I love Jimmy but he did not invent Psychedlic Rock. The Beatles put that on the map before Hendrix got to it. He even borrowed some of the Beatles techniques of backward guitar and drum looping from "Tomorrow Never Knows" into "Are Your Experienced". Please don't compare Elvis as a musician to the Beatles. It's really and insult to the Beatles. Elvis did not have the ability or the innovation to come up with songs like "Tomorrow Never Knows" or "Strawberry Fields Forever".
I never said Jimmy created Phycodelic rock, I said Jimi did! If the beatles invented Phyco rock like you claim, please give me the name of the song that they made and what year is was.
By the way i would NEVER compair The Beatles or Hendrix to Elvis! WTF? Jimi and Beatles was like 7 different Galaxies ahead of Elvis, Elvis was only an earthling!
Fuck beatles and fuck yourself! If Elvis was that what you have said, than why beatles and jimi hendrix both's idol is Elvis?
You are not jimi hendrix fan i guess, you have no respect for the one who was biggest influence of jimi hendrix??
Elvis can be considered as most influential guitarist because he has influenced like popular guitarist jimmy page, kieth richard, jimi hendrix, george harrison.. And lot more!
I like Elvis but really since 1958 Elvis had more in common with Englebert Humperdink and Tom Jones. John Lennon said Elvis died when he went into the Army. How many aliases do you have? There can't be more than one person in this world who writes the crap you do.
oh god you sad sad ppl if you really wanna believe Elvis is the biggest selling solo artist go on and believe it but the facts will remain the same, there NO artist that can sell albums like MJ and that's a fact! It has been confirmed again and again that the biggest selling artist ever is Michael Jackson so I won't even bother responding back to iggnorance... who gives a fuck what you think! lol
Yeah, yeah, Elvis was a good ass rock and roller but the TRUE King of R&R is without DOUBT, JIMI HENDRIX, now dont let anyone FOOL YOU! Dont believe me look in my playlist under rock/blues, THE BEST!
Elvis is so overrated he ain't even the biggest selling artist of all time, he hasn't even got ONE album listed in the top 100 biggest selling albums of all time and billboard just revealed he hasn't even got the most #1's after Mariah Carey either. He is like #7
Where you drag that crap from? Billboard have disqualified some of his Number 1's because they were before it became the "Hot 100" still billboard number 1's all the same...RED TAPE BULSHIT..And he IS the WORLDS biggest selling solo Artist,no doubt about that..And the most Charismatic,naturally raw talented entertainer ever to grace a stage or studio....live with it.

Elvis could not even play the guitar and write a song. Jay is the biggest troll. BigstuU25 you are not the only he has bothered. Jay the Beatles and Hendrix are miles ahead of Elvis. Most modern rock bands are influenced by the Beatles. Most guitarist are influenced by Hendrix. The Beatles did not invent Psychedelic Rock they were one of the first and popluarized it. "Tomorrow Never Knows" was recorded in early 1966 almost a half year before Hendrix.

babydickass12, you are troll, cause you makes comments in every elvis video with other 5 accounts.. Beatles has got less influence than rolling stones, who, kinks when its about modern rock.
justicejayant 3 years ago
No anal head you are the one. You say bullshit on the Beatles and everyone is laughing at you. You are the same person said Jimi Hendrix and Brian Wilson were not musicians because they could not read music. I play and you learn by playing and listening to music. The Beatles have been the biggest influence music the last 45 years in Modern Rock. You are the troll.

Hey anal wart, beatles sucks really hard.
If you learn better, you will know that instrumentalist are not musicians.
Beatles has 0 influence behind Elvis, Rolling stones, queen, who, kinks, beach boys, James Brown and many more.

Perljamtec
Hecruliods
jazzrocks112
mordern79rocker
Not only you, there are many others. Tells how weak and sucks beatles HARD!

You have some serious problems. I have been a member here for a period of time. You can't deal with the fact many people like the Beatles more than Elvis. On a poll of musicians in 2004 the Beatles were voted the most influential rock artists ever.
The Beatles blow Elvis away.
PROGBETA12 3 years ago
Those stupid polls are not enough at all! Beatles sucks behind rolling stones, kinks, elvis and more in influence.

Let me prove why Elvis is only king of music.
Elvis is the only one who is inducted in 3 separate hall of fame.
Following genres have taken birth with the help of his music.
Folk Rock, Soft rock, Rock ,Southern rock, Heartland rock, Blues rock, Country rock, British rock, Punk rock,Hard rock, Garage rock
"fuck rock" ok.. Here are other genres made because of his music.
Blue-eyed soul
Country Pop
Psychobilly
See, i am not a random one, i am researcher of Elvis.

I love Jimmy but he did not invent Psychedlic Rock. The Beatles put that on the map before Hendrix got to it. He even borrowed some of the Beatles techniques of backward guitar and drum looping from "Tomorrow Never Knows" into "Are Your Experienced". Please don't compare Elvis as a musician to the Beatles. It's really and insult to the Beatles. Elvis did not have the ability or the innovation to come up with songs like "Tomorrow Never Knows" or "Strawberry Fields Forever".
PROGBETA12 3 years ago
I never said Jimmy created Phycodelic rock, I said Jimi did! If the beatles invented Phyco rock like you claim, please give me the name of the song that they made and what year is was.
By the way i would NEVER compair The Beatles or Hendrix to Elvis! WTF? Jimi and Beatles was like 7 different Galaxies ahead of Elvis, Elvis was only an earthling!
bigstU25 3 years ago
Fuck beatles and fuck yourself! If Elvis was that what you have said, than why beatles and jimi hendrix both's idol is Elvis?
You are not jimi hendrix fan i guess, you have no respect for the one who was biggest influence of jimi hendrix??
Elvis can be considered as most influential guitarist because he has influenced like popular guitarist jimmy page, kieth richard, jimi hendrix, george harrison.. And lot more!

I like Elvis but really since 1958 Elvis had more in common with Englebert Humperdink and Tom Jones. John Lennon said Elvis died when he went into the Army. How many aliases do you have? There can't be more than one person in this world who writes the crap you do.

oh god you sad sad ppl if you really wanna believe Elvis is the biggest selling solo artist go on and believe it but the facts will remain the same, there NO artist that can sell albums like MJ and that's a fact! It has been confirmed again and again that the biggest selling artist ever is Michael Jackson so I won't even bother responding back to iggnorance... who gives a fuck what you think! lol

Elvis is so overrated he ain't even the biggest selling artist of all time, he hasn't even got ONE album listed in the top 100 biggest selling albums of all time and billboard just revealed he hasn't even got the most #1's after Mariah Carey either. He is like #7
MissGeorgous 3 years ago
Where you drag that crap from? Billboard have disqualified some of his Number 1's because they were before it became the "Hot 100" still billboard number 1's all the same...RED TAPE BULSHIT..And he IS the WORLDS biggest selling solo Artist,no doubt about that..And the most Charismatic,naturally raw talented entertainer ever to grace a stage or studio....live with it.
