King Of Rock And Roll: Tanka
KING OF ROCK AND ROLL
Scores adore Elvis
But Chuck Berry gets my vote
Just try listening
I’m not saying it’s racist
Though I have my suspicions

I still hear Chuck Berry on the radio here. And Elvis. I don’t think either one will ever truly go out of style.

I agree, although I don’t see Chuck ever attracting the same virtual veneration Elvis did at one time. I’ve no idea how either of them is viewed by later generations.

I don’t really know, but I think they should both get equal billing.

Yes. If both are equally promoted and available then a unprejudiced listener can make up their own mind. 🙂

Must admit, I’ve always really loved Elvis. His voice still makes me melt like a school girl. 😊

Of course I am coming with a male perspective here of course (among other things). 😊
