I just googled "songs written by elvis"

Result was "Elvis never wrote a single song".

In a way, you have to respect that! Some neck.

He was a performer and entertainer, don't think he never claimed to be a song writer (could be wrong) but by god he could sing! I would imagine writing a song for him would have been great fun because he could do the ballads and the rock songs

I like how he's put so much into the performance that he barely get the "thank you" at the end.

American Trilogy live from Hawaii is probably the single greatest thing popular culture has given the world. Say no more.

Hungry now. Might go make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and stick it in the deep fat fryer. Mmmmm.

Still selling Elvis tat on Beale St. in Memphis over four decades after he died. No current entertainment figure will match that kind of adulation.

He never wrote any songs but his manager always made sure he received half the publishing royalties for any songs he recorded.

Why would you expect him to write the songs? An actor doesn't often write the script.

I would guarantee if you ask most of the rockstars, including Bono (love or loathe him at his best he was a great vocalist) they would all give props to Elvis. I saw the two lads from Aerosmith being interviewed by Chris Evans years back, and he gave them a list of bands and asked who would be the headliner in a dream concert, and they both said, basically in unison "none of the above. Elvis would be the headliner".

Yea, all those number 1s and it was a number 2 that killed him!

With classic numbers like this one, how could Elvis NOT be the King?

Nah.

PTH2009

the amount of auld lads who still dress up and do the elvis tributes is big. In Waterford we have Rocky Mills

I imagine in the states there's 1000s of tribute acts to him

Stayed at the Heartbreak Hotel opposite Graceland years ago. Elvis everywhere and heart-shaped swimming pool and elvis songs constantly playing.

Novelty for me but not sure about the staff..

The radio is older than Elvis. I saw him on YouTube which was only invented in 2005

The second most overrated musical act in history.
