Who did he rip off? Who are these singers who sound like Elvis who were knocking around in 1953?

It's pretty much general knowledge that rock 'n' roll was born by making blues music for white people, stealing the styles and culture. Hell, "Hound Dog" is almost an exact copy of a song by a female blues artist at the time.
He was just a face. He could dance and get the little girls to freak out over him, other than that he was a stealing shit.

Is this bait? Those two only released records after Elvis was already recording.

Big Mama Thornton didn't write the song, nor does her vocal sound anything like Elvis's. You might as well say she was ripping off Leiber and Stoller

Ok, first of all no one is claiming he stole vocal styles so I don't know why you're bringing that up. Second, of course she didn't write it, she performed it. He still stole it and appropriated it for whites.
>>61465347
He invented the front man

So what exactly was he stealing and appropriating? The song was written by two white men. Elvis sang it in his own style.
