And I know that you aren't doing this, but some people feel that the fact that old black musicians who couldn't get a shot wrote a lot of his earlier songs makes them better. I can see how that can make a deeper impact symbolicly, but I don't think any more of the actual songs just because of this.

And, yes I thought about that perspective from the black musicians and what not. I agree completely, my point was merely that those songs were much better than anything Elvis was writing at the time.
