No one is bigger than Elvis, except Carl Perkins.
Niemand anderes hat es verstanden, Rhythm and Blues und Hillbilly zu so einem hypnotischen Beat zu verbinden. Irgendwie ist er immer eine tragische Figur geblieben. Die Beatles haben ihn geehrt und Johnny Cash war sein Freund. So tragisch klingt es dann jetzt auch nicht. Aber ihr kennt das, es ist zwar die richtige Saite, aber das falsche Yo Yo… macht trotzdem Spaß, bekanntlich ;))

Happy Birthday Elvis
This song can confidently be named the most influential song of the 20th century. It changed everything. It is the foundation of all subsequent popular music. For example, “the band.” Before SUN, the concept of a band did not exist. It became really popular with the British Invasion. Today, we think it's completely normal for bands to make music. And it is.
Or Scotty Moore's iconic guitar playing, e.g., the power chords. Not a single punk band would exist without Scotty. And one could go on forever. But above all, it is one thing: raw and beautiful.

People often ask me, “Why do you do that?”
The answer is simple: I do what I do. That's why. That's why I do what I do.

Easy isn't it.
