because of all the hits he is credited with...he didn't write any of them...im not saying he isn't a great singer...but to be called "King" you should be able to write your own fame and not rely on songwriters to write you into the history books.

NO the REAL King was the man that made it MAINSTREAM Rock and Roll was a euphemism for Fornication and was applied to a bouncier blues type rhythm sometime called Copulatin' blues...but THIS man made it acceptable to White America...

I don't see how he can be considering the fact that he's dead.

THAT is exactly why I used the past tense in the word "deserved."

Sorry, didn't quite catch that. I think he deserved to for a while, but then was overthrown and an oligarchy took power consisting of Ringo Star, George Harrison, John Lennon and Paul McCarthy
