Elvis largely gets panned for not writing any songs, yet Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby are widely loved and adored when they never wrote a song either?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of any of the 3, I like Elvis's music better than Sinatra's or Crosby's. but I'm a far bigger fan of Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins from that era.
But it seems that Elvis's lack of songwriting abilities knocks him way down in the eyes of most, while Sinatra and Crosby seem to be loved by all.
