This is a tricky one...

Elvis made rock n' roll popular... but he stole most of his material from Chuck Berry. Chuck Berry always did well, even after Elvis died.

I don't even know why Little Richard was listed in the first place. He didn't do anything for rock. I never even placed him in that genre.

I'd have to say Chuck Berry for the music itself, and Elvis for making it popular.
