elvis sang some good songs, but you could have plugged any pretty white boy into that formula and hit the jackpot.
i don't deny elvis' talent, but he had help from the packaging of the product and controversy over rock n' roll being "the devil's/black people's music" and white kids listening to it.
**note- i am aware i am using inappropriate racial descriptive in my post. please understand i am referring to this in historical terms of what was happening at the time elvis broke, and don't mean to offend anyone.
Roy fuckin' rocked!! Elvis is just depressing. Do you know thatElvis stopped his touring caravan in NM once so that his staff could watch cloud formations of Moses that he was seeing? Don't forget about the rhinestone jumpsuits. Not cute when your 300 pounds,
Once my ex-boyfriend told me I looked like Roy Orbison, and oddly enough I remember it fondly as one of the best compliments I've gotten. I know, y'all are thinking, "What? She doesn't look like Roy Orbison!" I think it was just the sunglasses.

after an opiate/twinkie binge the same thing happened to me when i went out with sunglasses on...
they're both great artists.but roy orbison did write his own stuff it still is amazing, i don't think he is recognized as much for that. Elvis will always be the king, nobody put on a performance like him. NO ONE!!!!
