I agree totally. There has never been a solo artist like him in popular music. The closest solo artist that has come to his greatness was Michael Jackson. While not as talented instrumentally or as a writer like (The Beatles, Dylan and others) none of them could match his charisma, vocals or on stage command. To me he will always be the King of Rock N Roll.
