King of what? stealing Black R&B? Elvis was racist and said a Black man was only good for shining shoes. Although he didn't mind stealing R&B from Black men. When confronted with what he said he didn't even apologize. The creator of Rock N Roll was Rosetta Tharpe and the inovators who copied her were Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Ike Turner. period

quotes never been proven, good writers have tended to just put it in the category of rumor but don't let that stop your hate.

Elvis refused to perform in a racist town because they told him he couldn't bring his back up singers. The boot shine quote has been debunked.
