PhotoSynthesis: Elvis in 'Jailhouse Rock'

in ahundred years from now people will still know who Elvis is,but not to many will know who Little Richard was

Now I know where Michael Jackson got his moves. I knew they were not original.

I'm black man I like all Elvis music and movies, but Elvis songs came from this black man that didn't get one cent for his lyrics, I'm not trying to take anything away from Elvis he was a great singer, but with out some of those songs lyric he would not have been a star.

elvis maybe dead but there stil many many fans out there that still enjoy his music! me being one of them!

The jail house dance sequence in Jail House Rock was choreographed by Alex Romero. Elvis also had help perfecting his moves for the movie from Russ Tamblyn a childhood veteran of the entertainment industry and a well known street dancer. As far as Elvis part in creating Rock and Roll is concerned; It's a question that each of us are given the liberty of deciding individually. When Elvis cut "That's All Right, Mama" in July of 1954 it came out on the Hillbilly charts in Billboard Magazine. Little Richard's first recordings came in 1951 on RCA Victor. His chart hits began in January of '56 with Tutti Frutti - before Elvis gained national recognition on The Tommy Dorsey show. Little Richard was Rock and Roll from jump street and Elvis cut and copied all of Richard's stuff. In my opinion, "Rocket 88" was definitely the first Rock and Roll hit. Recorded in 1951 by Ike Turner's band with the lead vocal going to Jackie Brentsen it's the earlliest example of R&B transitioning into true Rock & Roll. The classic side was cut at The Sun Studios in Memphis in 1951 under the direction of Sam Phillips.
That's the genuine skinny folks and if you've heard or believe differently you need to get back to the books. Brother Bruce

also for the record, Dena, Little Richard first made it big in Sept 1955 singing-"Tutti Frutti." Elvis' first rock and roll recording was "That's All Right, Mama" in July of 1954. Who copied who?

for the record, Dena, Elvis IS credited as the creator of rock and roll. That is why he is called "the King." Elvis grew up going to church with blacks. That is where Elvis learned to sing and feel the music. Elvis' special" style" was a white man singing like a black man. This had never been seen before. There are so many impersonators to this day because Elvis' style WAS so original and unique----and still is.

for the record, elvis is not the father of rock and roll. little richard created rock and roll and afterward everyone else got on the copycat bandwagon. there was no other sound like the first rock and roll song that hit the airwaves by little richard. elvis just took a bunch of styles and blended them together in his own style. he created nothing.

ELVIS PRESLEY WILL ALWAY'S BE "THE KING" Of ROCK N ROLL.HE WAS GIFTED IN SO MANY WAY'S.IT'S SAD HE HAD TO LEAVE US SO YOUNG.
