artist to cover R&B hits and have hits themselves. Pat Boone was famous for it. Here's evidence that Elvis didn't just cover Roy Hamilton's hits, he covered his voice and actual phasings.

Amazing. And Elvis got to be the biggest thing ever in Rock and Roll. A stolen legacy.

Along with Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and the Comets, Bo Diddley and Ike Turner...all before Presley.

Ike Turner is actually credited with recording the very Rock and Roll record, "Rocket 88", in 1951. It was sung by Jackie Brenston who was a sax player in Turner's band. It was credited to Jackie Brenston and the Delta Cats.
