    Elvis didn't need to even try ... he just DID it without thought -- it came from somewhere way down deep and just came out naturally and effortlessly.

      Every move he made and every word he sang came straight from the heart. I’d kill to see him in concert, but he was WAY before my time.

      That actually isn't true. Elvis engineered the person he wanted to be by taking inspiration from everything he could and remixing it in his own flavor. Not just his music and dance moves but his mannerisms, ticks and appearance. He was socially really intelligent and knew how to craft a memorable image.

      Elvis stole moves from black artist , and his singing style, his name was Otis Blackwell, he taught him the and the music , so your research, elvis was not create , nothing he did was his own, the song were from black artist .

      @@nenabunena yeah, elvis's intimacy with his audience and how he moved his legs influenced how colored singers of the time would dance. Since Elvis grew up in an African-American neighborhood he swayed more into their culture, this also added to the major dislike of him as well as his of course sexual gestures during his early career years
