Elvis is/was a fantastic singer! His white contemporaries couldn't hold candle to him, and his range of material, in many ways, made him more interesting - back in the day - than almost any other singer. One thing that I would say is that you had to be there to really appreciate how good Elvis was. But don't just take my word, just listen to what John Lennon, Buddy Holly, Bruce Springsteen. Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant.... had to say.
