But he probably should have said Elvis. After all, I'd bet money on the fact that more people in history used the words "God given talent" to describe him than all others combined.  |
No, Elvis was just the first person to recognize how good "black" music was back then and had the balls to experience it and use it to his advantage. I am not bashing Elvis, but to say he has the most god given talent in the history of new music just does not make sense. What about Jimi Hendrix? He invented new chord voicings and had a totally new and different approach to the guitar. Or there is Clapton too. I could go on.
