Really?
Elvis didn't start the genre, nowhere near, he said so himself numerous times.
He just popularised a genre that was dominated by blacks.
He can never be called the 'Father', but he can be called the King, purely because of the impact he had on America, and the world. But the only reason he had so much of an impact is because he was white.
