""Before Elvis... there was nothing!"

Buddy Holly predated Elvis. In fact, if anyone deserves the title of "King of Rock & Roll", it's Buddy."

I love Buddy, too - but he sure didn't predate Elvis. Elvis' first Sun single "That's All Right" / "Blue Moon of Kentucky" was recorded in 1954. Buddy didn't start recording until '56, and his first hit, "That'll Be The Day" wasn't until '57.

"...but he sure didn't predate Elvis."

Yes, quite right. I had read his bio several years ago, and remembered that he was performing in clubs and such as early as 1951. Got the dates confused.
