Waylon, was Elvis's bass player for a long time. He ended up quitting disgruntled because he was writing so many songs for Elvis and getting so little recognition or loyalties for his work. After he left, he sold more records than Elvis and Buddy Holly (another guy he played bass for) combined. Whenever you hear Waylon do an old 'Elvis' song, it really was a Waylon song in the first place-- Suspicious Minds may be the best example, but there are many more.

Did Elvis ever write a song? He sure did have a pretty voice and a lot of women who liked him, I'll give him that, but my mom got me to the point to where I couldn't stand him. Back in the day when a dozen 8 tracks was a big ol' box and quite a music selection, I think she might of had ten of 'em that were Elvis and two Conway Twitty's that she played everywhere she went. I got to where I would prefer silence to either one of those two choices. I think she cried for a week when Elvis died.
