Clyde had the original hit. He had enormous talent but never achieved the stardom he deserved. He lived a sad life and died much too young. I am a huge fan of his.

More emotion?😂 You know that shit in music is overrated! Singing a song with more emotion isn't better singing! It's the right amount of emotion put in the song that makes it great! Elvis sang it the way it was meant! he didn't oversing it! A song sang with too much emotion becomes zappy, cheesy, oversung, dramatic which most people don't like!

Elvis was white and white people like you have always been toxic with racism. THAT'S why Elvis is "The King." All of Elvis' early hits he took from Black people. Why do you think that is? Why was he always doing songs written and first performed by Black people? You don't have the ounce of character to answer that honestly. None of you do.
