Wrong. Elvis DID write songs.[/QUOTE]
but they were shit[/QUOTE]

Doesn't matter. Quinnyboy could also say that he was wrong, but that seems a difficult thing.

Rick i like you already!
can you give us a link to the compilation you're talking about? then we could clear up whether it's digital or an impersonator(he DEFinitely didn't cover it himself).

Hello you rock and rollers!
How is this even a discussion?

Co-Wrote songs I believe...If you can even call it that, lets stop this silly arguement though. Cheers.

According to Scotty Moore, the guitarist on all the classic 50's era Elvis recordings, no he didn't.

There ARE songs where Elvis is credited as co-writer, but according to Scotty, that was more of a tax dodge cooked up by Corporal Parker (or whatever his real name was) than any reflection of any actual input on the part of the pretender to the throne.

Thank you :) that clears everything up very nicely! :D
Elvis is still alive, living from the royalties for "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". Freddie provided him with some pension-money this way, as he donated all royalties to the bank-account of the "keep Elvis alive foundation" and Elvis has a chipcard to this account. Elvis couldn't work anywhere anymore, so Freddie decided to help him. Elvis then gave him this song, and Queen happily jumped to the odd occasion. The story of Freddie in the bath and Phoebe giving him the guitar to compose it is only make-believe! All the rest i tell you is true ! Even Twitty Conway is an invention to fund Elvis a bit, as he ran out of money ! It's been a while you know, and remaining invisible for the world is expensive!

Twitty Conway on the Brian May tour, was nobody else than The King himself!
