Michael Jackson was the 'Self-Proclaimed' 'King Of Pop'. He gave himself this title. In fact, Jackson was not very talented at all apart from dancing. He had a very weak voice and sang in only one or two musical genres. He was also extremely egotistical and refused to be interviewed unless referred to as 'King'.

The real KING was, and remains, Elvis Presley, who was the whole package - he had the talent, the looks, the voice, the charisma and was humble with it. Of course, Elvis was more than just a singer/entertainer, he was an historical figure who broke down racial and social barriers in 1950's U.S.A. paving the way for Dr. Martin Luther King. Elvis matured throughout his career whereas Michael Jackson did not and appealed to mainly teenagers throughout.

Elvis Presley was truly 'sui generis' and will still be revered in a thousand years time.
