Without Elvis there's no rock and roll or rockabilly. Others were singing a similar style of music; what made Elvis different? He was white, and he was good looking. Most importantly, he had a great voice! Despite his country origins, he didn't sound like a hick. He could sing fast and hard; he could sing soft and low. The man could deliver a song! It all started with those early Sun sessions. "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" is probably the most notable of those early songs. His style already developed you can hear Elvis in all of his glory on this song.
