"Watered-down black music" is weird thing to call Elvis, because the guy grew up in Memphis (lots o blacks in that city) & sang black music his whole life, as well as lots of gospel, which is why he was signed in the 1st place: He was a white guy who sang black music (thus bringing it to the masses).

 

Actually the songs i mentioned above "If I Can Dream" is about black rights. Sang it on the '68 Comeback Special, Priscilla said that was her fav song of Elvis' cuz he sang it will such real emotion for the subject matter.

Shit, there ain't no doubt that Big Mama Thornton's version has so much balls that Elvis's version is like a eunich compared to it. But that's where the magic comes in...Elvis opened a window for a lot of people to climb through to get to the Big Mama version.
