Yes of course black music influenced Elvis but so did other music growing up !

Going by the movie trailer , they may be going wayyyy overboard with the black music influence and box ticking throughout the movie !

Oh My Gurd, Elvis grew up around Black people????

How does this bother you now?

The way it seems portrayed in the film is wayyyy over the top ! The scenes have it as if God himself was calling on him from the heavens !

I don't have a problem with his obvious black music influences .. Its the way its being portrayed in those scenes in the movie !

Of course it does. 95% of top production biographies are that way.

It's a biography.

What a wonderfully stupid, empty response. Your attempt to derail the conversation has failed.

[–] Shibez (887) 2 years ago

I can see you're triggered.

You talk just like a robot.

If they say he wasn’t influenced it’s racist. I’d they say he was influenced it’s cultural appropriation and thus racist. Obvious racism is obvious.

Surprised they didn't make him black.

[–] macken74 (613) 2 years ago

Haha

He was as much influenced by folk/country music, as evident by the covers he did throughout his career.

BUT, the Great Reset demands the accomplishments of some be diminished while the minute accomplishments of others be exaggerated.

It's all about the feel-feels...

[–] macken74 (613) 2 years ago

Exactly !

Elvis was really open about how a big influence on his music was black gospel music.

BLM = Baz Luhr Mann

So he was influenced. All artists are influenced by somebody who came before. Elvis often acknowledged that he was influenced. It's not a big deal.
