I have never been impressed by film stars/singers etc, but Sam Cooke, what a fantistic talent
I think I have every relased recorging of his including when he was in the Soul Stirrers. I was fortunite to visit (on a road trip) to Nashville,  Memphis, Jackson, and New Orleons this year, I found even the 'Country fans' recognse his brilliant talent.

Howlin Wolfs version was brilliant, I visited  Sam Phillips Sun studio, and he ranked Howlin above his other signed acts, Elvis, Johnny cash, Roy O, Gerry Lewis and carl perkins.

He sold Elvis to RCA for 35 thousang dollars mainly to pay off his debths, with the left over money he invested in a little known but ambitious up and coming hotel company called the Holiday Inn. The rest of course is history.

I have sung many/most of his songs as a tribute, I had Classical Voice Training in 1970 but lacked the belief in my ability to do it professionlly. I had just married and taken on a mortgage, unlike the aholes who pop up on our screens who think they are great while failing to carry a tune in a bucket. I could beat them all without even truing.

Buddy holly, and Eddie Cochran. How big would they have been. I will post a link for Roy hamilton a black singer from the 50s who Elvis adored, and why wouldn't he, he stole his vocal style and presented it as his own.

Have a listen, Elvis recorded every song of his especially his ballads. Just one example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NodzpSgU3E
