What does /mu/ think of the king?

Possibly the biggest fraud of all time. He literally didn't write any of "his" songs.

Literally who?

1968 Presley is best Presley - his "return" may have been calculated, but I still prefer it to his Sun Records stuff

Amazing voice. Nice songs. Total dunce.

Scotty Moore made him famous.

His rise to stardom was well before the "rock artists should also write their own material" convention became commonplace. Chuck Berry did it, but it wasn't the norm until the Beatles hit it big and Dylan went electric.

shamelessly appropriated black culture and deserves none of the praise he receives

A singles machine

I don't like people who are fat. He got fat. Fat people are shit human waste.

That's a common claim, but nonetheless, if you listen to black music from the 40's and 50's, none of it actually sounds quite like Elvis.

Jump blues don't sound like Elvis. Ike Turner's early projects would never be confused with Elvis. Bluesmen were DEFINITELY not Elvis.

So I think that kind of thing needs to be more specific. Which songs and albums in particular got ripped off by Elvis?
