That's because the term 'Rock and Roll' had not been coined yet. The biggest thing about Elvis when he was first discovered was the fact that he was a white man that sounded like a black singer. He did not screw anything up to create something, he listened to what the suits around him told him to do and followed their instructions. He was little more than the original Justin Bieber.
