Rock and Roll !?!


Question: They say that Elvis was the King, but Little Richard was far better? What do you think?


Answers: They say that Elvis was the King, but Little Richard was far better? What do you think?

Little Richard said it himself: "Elvis was king but I am the architect of rock and roll!"

They were both incredibly important in the early days for different reasons. I would hate to have to choose between them!

BTW, if you're a Little Richard fan, try and find his albums on Reprise from 1970 or so - some great stuff & very underrated.

Elvis is the king. . . Little Richard, the court jester.

Elvis was great, but all he was doing was taking existing music and re-packaging it in a style that would appeal to a wider {white} audience.

I don't know who "they" are, but listen to the song "Elvis is Dead" by Living Colour:

"A black man (Little Richard) taught him (Elvis) how to sing, and then he was crowned King."

I agree wholeheartedly.

Well of course Elvis because... he started his own different kind of music and was the first. Little richard may be better but Elvis is a legend.

Music is a matter of taste to each their own!

Little Richard has certainly made great cotributions to music , but EP was an entertainer. The English Patient is probably a better movie, but I would rather see Caddyshack.

Little Richard was king until Elvis dethroned him!

Though not really a huge fan , i say Elvis. I mean, 20,000 japanese Elvis impersonators can't be wrong, can they? LOL!

Elvis
Johnny Cash
Jerry Lee Lewis
Carl Perkins
"The Million Dollar Quartet"

That's all the evidence anyone needs.

I'd say Elvis was a good singer, that's it! He gets WAY too much credit. He, for the most part, didn't write any of his own songs and could barley play basic guitar. When today's artists do that they get ridiculed for it. But not Elvis.....hes put way up high on a pedestal for some god forsaken reason!

If you want pure R&R then Elvis wasn't in the same class as Little Richard,Jerry Lee,or a few more.
What Elvis had,was a better voice for singing Rock ballads,So,for just R&R,then Little Richard
