That's why he was the king. It wasn't just rock & roll. He did gospel. Ballads. Golk, country. He did movies. He appealed to everyone. Going to the Army. Marrying Principal. The Vegas year and the white suit.

This is a cop out answer but without Elvis, there would be no other king of rock & roll. I'm not saying there would be no rock music. I'm just saying there was only one Elvis.

After the RHT (Rob Halford Treatment), Jani Lane is only eligible to be the Queen of Rock N Roll.
