The King Of Rock and Roll from the 50s
 

Who of the following three rock 'n' roll legends from the 1950s deserve the title "The King of Rock and Roll". These are the only ones I know that have been called this from the 50s?

Elvis Presley
Chuck Berry
Little Richard

Elvis!!! For sure!

There can only be one king ... ELVIS!! :a040:

I don't remember Chuck Berry and/or Little Richard being called the King of Rock and Roll.

I agree Elvis was special. BUT if it weren't for Chuck Berry, rock n roll as we knew it would not be the way it was. Through the fiftie and sixties, music was filled with the Chuck Berry influence. Taking nothing away from Elvis, he did not write his stuff or invent guitar work that was at the time unheard of. Go Johnny Go.

For white folks..Elvis...as he made "race music" acceptable. In terms of invention and brilliance...Chuck Berry is THE MAN.

Bill Haley ?

:agree:

Elvis is not only the "King of Rock & Roll" but I would go so far as to say -- the greatest entertainer of all time!!!!

Little Richard?????? Are you kidding me???

I agree wih kathy & al. Elvis is the greatest entertainer of all times & the king of rock & roll, but he was also a fool for letting drugs destroy his life. I remember sleeping with his picture under my pillow. He was my hero in the 50's.

Chuck Berry he influenced many guitar players like Keith Richards. He did things with the guitar no one had before him.

:agree:

I liked Elvis and still think his songs were great but Chuck Berry ruled.

When Buddy Holly died in the horrible plane crash who kept the music going?

Who stepped up to the stage the day AFTER the music died?

What performer caused Robert Zimmerman (BOB DYLAN)to hitchhike from Hibbing MN to Fargo to see him perform?

BOBBY VEE!

Little Richard is someone opinion. He or she is entitled to it. Not fair to knock the person. I was not of fan of little Richard but he did leave his mark on music.
