Gospel huh? Ask any true gospel fan and they will choose Aretha Franklin over Elvis. Am i wrong? In fact, Cece winans is the greatest gospel artist of all time. But i bet you don't know who Cece is...am i wrong?
Talent is talent, Passion is Passion. The expression of each is called ART. THE ACCEPTANCE OF ART is in the eye of the beholder. If I counted all the art, Duke Ellington to Madonna and beyond, it is an enrichment to my very being. Thank you for the joy music anf awesome performers, it continues to bless my life!
John Lennon once said: "Before Elvis there was nothing". What utter nonsense!! We had Little Richard, Chuck Berry & Bill Haley doing rock 'n' roll long before Elvis arrived on the scene.
Name one single singer Elvis influenced: I'll wait. Now name every boy band The Beatles influenced? Elvis influenced nobody because his influences came from black singers so nobody can tell me he is influential. As a Beatles fan yourself you should know that
@@VVhistory Just goes to show you don't know shit. The Beatles and pretty much every other British rock band you like from the 60s was influenced by Elvis. Go look up what the Beatles themselves had to say about him.
Bro, 1.5 billion people watched his 1973 Hawaii show. That’s more than 2 decades after his “prime” as most people see it. Elvis was big, and he had a better voice than any of the Beatles members (An American Trilogy, the entire 68 comeback special, and Unchained Melody are better than any Beatles song)
I think he is overrated His voice was not special, his range was very limited, even when it come to his songs I like falling in love with you, I like when other people cover it but I don’t like his versions. I just don’t see what the hype was about. People try to belittle Michael Jackson to Elvis 🤭😁 But Michael Jackson was a better artist 10 times more But hey! No one is allowed to say this, this is a sensitive topic
Elvis was bigger than the Beatles but they were a tremendous talent. The Beatles especially Paul were at the top. Elvis was an entertainer. He had different genres of music. His movie songs were a great credit to the movie producers for show casing his voice range. Someone said Ekvis sang black music. He sang many genres and put his musical interpretation to it. In the end, the music he sang was sung they way he arranged it. The Brkeatles were great great great. Elvis is worldwide singer and entertainer. But there are many singers. Julio Iglesias was easily as big possibly bigger than elvis or the beatles. Vicente Fernandez was a household name in Mexico. I'm sure china and India and the arab world have unbelievable singers too. Celebrate them all
@@JJStale You must not know much about The Beatles then lol. "Nothing affected me until I heard Elvis. Without Elvis, there would be no Beatles" - John Lennon. And you can find similar quotes from all of them about Elvis.
@@JJStale “It [Elvis' music] had an incredible impact on me just because I’d never heard anything like it. I mean, coming from Liverpool, we didn’t really hear the very early Sun Records. The first record I remember hearing was probably the big hit by the time it got across the Atlantic. It was ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ - ‘Heartburn Motel’ as Elvis called it.” - George Harrison. But hey, I can't stop you from ignoring history and believing whatever you want 🤷♂️
you are overwhelmingly mistaken. EP's Gospel alone was etched in the memories of true fans!

@@VVhistoryYes, you are wrong. You are always wrong. 😂

I know right
Ray Charles too
As a Beatles fan, why is it necessary to Bash E. E paved the way for the buggers.
Name one single singer Elvis influenced: I'll wait.

Elvis influenced nobody because his influences came from black singers so nobody can tell me he is influential. As a Beatles fan yourself you should know that
They liked Elvis a lot but they seemed to pay more attention to Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry…
That’s the only reason Elvis serves a purpose. He’s only a bridge between old music and the counterculture revolution of the 60s for me.
@@derekroberts6654 And Little Richard.

Still prefer the Beatles music over Elvis by a country mile
He was NOT bigger than The Beatles.
Lmao bigger? Are you on acid
@@MothGirl007 He definitely was. Maybe not in popularity today, but they're still pretty close in sales numbers.
@@MothGirl007 True. And the Beatles were far more influential, as well.
I hope this is a joke, especially considering The Beatles probably wouldn't even exist if not for the influence of Elvis Presley.
They weren’t even that influenced by Elvis

@@PlanR they were miles miles more influenced by Chuck berry an buddy holly and George harrison especially didn’t like Elvis

The Beatles are overrated
