Well said Katalyst. A fair and just reply. It's just a shame how his career wound up, where as Iggy (who accepted help from close friends etc, in which Elvis refused) was able to deal with and treat his afflictions and keep on kicking ass on stage - to this day! Anyone who is willing deal with there own weakness like Iggy has, is a king in my book. *** Keeping in mind that the majority of Elvis' material was written and composed by other musicians and then sold on to Elvis eg: Tony Joe White etc. Elvis was talented but he also was just an end product of a long line of just as talented musicians who were supplying him with some really great songs. The truth is that Elvis was marketable, the others were not. It does makes me wonder, who really is "the king?"
