Chuck Berry or Little Richard is much more worthy of that title, if we're talking about 50s rock.

I've never understood it either. I will say that there can be great artists who don't sing their own songs (Jerry Lee Lewis comes to mind), but few are. As far as I'm concerned, Johnny Ace is the greatest singer of the 50's and Chuck Berry is the greatest rocker. Sometimes I think Elvis only gets credit because of his skin color.
