@@ronniechilds2002 What was also good about Elvis was that he wasn't really vain. Elvis and Marylin Monroe were once asked about their most beautiful experiences in their lives. Elvis replied that during his time in Germany he had a landlady who always ironed his laundry and laid it out neatly; he had very fond memories of her. Monroe remembered a bread seller who spoke to her in a completely normal and natural way. So both stars mentioned simple people with hearts.

[@Elvis-guy1973]

@@gutermonddugehstsostille5592 Elvis was said to be a regular down to earth kinda guy, which when you consider the amount of pressure and the constant "female gaze" and the utter a hole he had for a manager, It's surprising he didn't go insane!

[@gutermonddugehstsostille5592]

@@Elvis-guy1973 I have to agree with you! You can say what you want about America, but it has also brought beautiful things to the world, especially (despite all the wars) humanity. Many contemporary witnesses from the end of World War II told me that the Americans were always kind to children and brought many war orphans with them to America out of compassion and love. An old man once told me: Americans can be childlike. That's high praise! Presley and Monroe certainly also had dark sides, but they came across as human. You can take an example from this! We need unperverted humanity. You can save yourself Antifa and colorful flags etc.!!! Jesus is the Savior!

No. He might've been a better showman though, I'll give you that. Not trying to shit on Elvis here, he was a great singer and performer, and was increadibly important and influential in music history. Without him there likely would not be any Beatles, and it's fine if he fits your personal taste better, but I really do think they surpass him in almost every category.

[@gregscott8383]

LOL El has s much better voice than any of the Beatles about 100c more charisma and looks. And much better Live. AND he sold more records even beating the beatles got number ones in their home country only one to do that.

[@SeptemberChild1835]

@@thebelen2359 Elvis was the most diverse, musically. As Dave Marsh wrote, only Ray Charles approached Elvis for diversity and breadth of material. Elvis was the most important in evolution, too! 😃

[@liberty4allplease]

There is Elvis and the Beatles, with a little Dylan on the side, and then everyone else. @thebelen2359 Elvis was pure, indigenous folk/country/rock and roll. An Armstrong or Robert Johnson. He was a giant of a talent without even knowing it, the greatest rocker and greatest ballad singer (in my opinion) twentieth century pop music has produced. The Beatles, like Elvis, lost their joy, their musical inspiration, and produced a lot of schlock in later years. I watched Elvis on Ed Sullivan in 56 and the Beatles of Ed Sullivan in 64. They were the same transformational talents that captured America and the world.

When Paul McCartney visited Elvis' grave at Graceland he was interviewed and he stated he always thought they (the Beatles) had sold the most records but he had seen the evidence and it was Elvis.

Not quite true, the Beatles have sold the most accredited singles and albums EPs combined than any other artist if you going by wild and exaggerated reports from sources who have personal interest in their particular artist such as Michael Jackson while thriller officially as sold some 60-70million copies but if you hunt around you have people saying it,s sold upwards of 110 million but if thriller as only sold 30 million in the world's biggest and most accredited market were sales can be tracked as in the USA were on earth did the other 80million sales come if the it only sold 30 million in the world's biggest market since there is no bigger market then the figure of 110 million is wrong

Elvis was never the same after he returned from the military and was sold to Hollywood and Las Vegas.

[@adamrichards3174]

Elvis had a 2 week residency at Las Vegas' New Frontier in 1956, and was in 4 Hollywood movies before being drafted into the Army in 1958. More than anything, I think losing his mom at such a young age (she was only 46) and his upper/downer dependency (which started in the military) was what really changed him.

[@felipehernandez-pedroza8288]

I agree. It was the lost of his mom that affected him the most. Also, when he was discharged from the army, he should have gotten rid of the Colonel. He needed a new manager by then. He was ready to tour the world and Tom Parker prevented him from doing so for over 20 years.

[@cut1986]

I think he was at the top of his game from 68 to 70. Love the 50s as well but not a comparison for me.

[@pulmon66]

Does anyone here reading this comment know of anyone in US history who remained the same after serving in any of the then 4, now 6 branches of the US Armed Forces while SIMULTANEOUSLY being i) the most famous person in the world ii) the most celebrated solo musician in history iii) his country's highest PERSONAL tax payer since 1957 and all the way through 1965, iv) the world's most photographed musician ever, v) living off base in the most visited home in Europe, where he continued to be vi) the person who gave most autographs in history, defying the laws of supply and demand, as his is amongst the top selling, even today. Summarizing, does anyone know anyone more prone to "change" than Elvis Presley, born in the poorest of the then 49 states of Union, in a home with an outhouse shared by five other families, then moving at age 13 not to the state of California, or New York, but to the second poorest?. He was an historical figure before his return in 1960, so if the Army changed him, so it would have changed any other person with the same PERSONAL attributes, the pros and the cons. I was changed, entirely, by my two years at a now defunct US private military academy, but that was peanuts compared to what the Army taught Elvis. He was a changed man, but it was INEVITABLE given who he was BEFORE.

[@casper3130]

Elvis had the right looks and the right name and just came along at the right time to become the icon he became. It's like it was just meant to be. Music was at a stage in time it needed to change to interest the newer younger audiences. Teens and young women were primed ready and unknowingly waiting to see someone on stage perform and without first even knowing himself Elvis performed for them. In fact he had to ask why the girls were screaming the first time he performed for an audience and once he was told why he took it from there. His music got air time because kids called in request to hear him and his records sold. Night shows wanted to have him on to be one of the first to introduce him for their show ratings. It wasn't long that the girls wanted him and the boys were either jealous or wanted to be him, he became famous around the Country. I listened as his music kept coming and his popularity kept growing then just as Elvis and his music captured the Country new music started capturing the Country. Young Rock Bands of the 70's started popping up everywhere capturing the attention of teens and young adults across the Country just as Elvis did in his beginning days. In the 70's Elvis still had his followers but having reached his 40's his audience was getting older and the younger generations were expanding their musical interest. I feel if Elvis had lived longer he probably would have gone into Country music which would've probably been great.
