Okay i'll narrow this down to five points:

1.) He has been inducted into four Hall of Fames - The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, the Rockibilly Hall of Fame, The Gospel Hall of Fame and the Country Hall of Fame.

2.) Had over 1 billion records sold in his lifetime ( a feat only surpassed by a band - The Beatles - and not by much.)

3.) Mainstreamed Rock N' Roll to the masses*

4.) Had over 18 No.1 hits and over 110 top 40 hits.

5.) His Aloha from Hawaii conert had over 1.5 billion viewers arguably the most for a single performer. The money went to a cancer charity.

* - Elvis did not " steal" black music. He admitted he got inspired from black artists and constantly thanked the black community.

But, if you disagree and think he wasn't he best, please voice your opinion.
