Elvis Told He Can't Sing


[From article]
Known for his moves that earned him the nickname “Elvis the Pelvis” and that were considered scandalous at the time (but are tame by today’s standards), Presley was the undisputed king of “rock ’n’ roll” even though he never learned to read music and was told repeatedly in his youth that he couldn’t sing and would “never make it as a singer.” He made it in his singing career — big time — but his personal life was a disaster throughout and especially at the end.
