Elvis idolize Jackie Wilson.
 
Elvis imiated alot of his dance moves and twisting his hips ALL that came from Jackie. Elvis was not the FIRST to do rock n roll. Elvis would probably tell you that himself actually most of his idols were black musicians who pioneered rock n roll.
Fats Dominos anyone?
He just did manufactured imitations of it. Most of his hits were written by African American songwriters that he just covered and they became more popular because of who he was. |
So the guys who you give credit before Elvis stole it after Elvis. Got it. Maybe you should just admit that you
want black people to be the kings and queens of rock, when in reality it was a joint effort to create the genre, and Elvis is undeniably the biggest figure of the genre's early stages. So, he's the king.
Deal with it sis.
