Was Elvis Presley the one who had the most efect on music ?

Question

in the 1900s, and did he have the most beautiful voice ever

Answer 1

Not really. He didn't write his own lyrics. Most of his songs were written by other people, he only added a few lyrics to a few of his songs. And he couldn't actually play guitar, really. He could only play it a bit, not well. He had a good voice, but nothing too special.

I think The beatles (played their own instruments, Lennon's amazing lyrics) had more of an effect.  

Answer 2

i think the beattles were up there too  

Answer 3

Elvis definitely had the greatest effect on the music industry.  The Beatles are a close second.  Michael Jackson sold a lot of albums but I don't think he had as much effect on others as Elvis and the Beatles.

Answer 4

if it wasn't for elvis, half the music we hav today probably wouldn't exsist!!

im a huge fanof elvis - he was amazingly talented, nd i mean come on, he invented rock n roll!!

nd im not just saying that coz im a fan - he actually created rock n roll - b4 he came along, it was called rock-a-billy! nd it was nothing like it is today!

he was a musical genius! some of my friends make fun of me, coz im onyl 17, which some ppl consider me to be too young to like elvis, ha lol ur never too young to appreciate gd music! nd just because elvis is dead, doesn't mean he's gone - elvis will never be gone, his music will always remain, so long as hisfans do!

i agree, the music industry would never have been what is today, if it wasn't for elvis presley!! he inspired loads of artists - ur right, ppl say that the beatles r way better than elvis, if it wasn't for elvis, the beatles probs wouldn't exsist!! lol ok my rant is getting really long now lmao

so ill wrap it up - elvis rules! nd dnt ever forget it!! haha x

Answer 5

Elvis Presley is on record as saying Roy Orbison is the king not me  

Answer 6

elvis did have a massive effect on music he broke the black/white barrier in the music industry he was more than just a cheesy singer he had a voice of an angel his music brought love and laughter and some very memorable memories to so many people he did definitely have the biggest effect on music that i know of

Answer 7

I tend to agree with you, he had a big influence in music, also Bob Dylan, Beatles, Johnny Cash, Armstrong, etc.!!!

Cheers for good taste.!!

Answer 8

Cole porter, Gershwin, George Martin, Glen Miller, Django Rhinehart, Hendrix, Bernstien, Lennon/McCartney and all the other actual composers/song/writers/producers may beg to differ!  

Answer 9

The Beatles beat him out...but he was THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL,,,,and will always be,,,

Answer 10

Nope the beatles. You can hear influences of the beatles in almost anything, but i can't from elvis.

Answer 11

I'd say no, because the likes of Bill Haley and his comets were around before who opened the way for Rock n Roll music, but even that was predated by Wyonnie Harris in 1947.

Answer 12

I think the beatles had the biggest effect on popular music this century.

Answer 13

i think michael jackson was

Answer 14

Al Jolson and Bing Crosby had more effect than Presley.

Roy Orbison had a better voice than Elvis.

Answer 15

oh yes.  "before elvis there was nothing" - quote john lennon.

Elvis was, is and always will be the ultimate.  

Perfect voice, perfect face, perfect body, perfect man.

RIP Elvis.
