Elvis Presley music was mostly co-written/written by Weisman on his credits. He was not african american. It was not standard for people to list writers in the credits of music until much later in Elvis's career. That is something that was done due to litigation at a later point. None of the african american singers of the time credited writers of their songs either, just thought i'd point that out. I am gonna fail to see anything but talent when it involves Elvis, he was an innovator and he would have had breakthrough talent whether he wrote his music or not. Elton John doesn't write his own music does that make him a hack also?
