Both are godlike legends, but for me it has to be Elvis. Johnny may be the man, but there is simply no one like Elvis. He not only sang rock and was himself "the man" in the 50's and 60's, but with his amazing voice and overwhelming persona he successfully sang country, gospel, and pretty much every other kind of music. He sold millions of records no matter what the hell he sang.
He wasn't merely a trademark, that's retarded. He was a guy who was basically blessed with about a 1000 times more talent than most, period.
No disrespect to Cash, but he's no Elvis. I'm guessing most here aren't old enough to know just how huge Elvis was back then. Only the Beatles rivaled him.

I couldn't say it much better myself so I figured I'd just quote you...
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
