No, Elvis was not a composer. However, Elvis had "perfect pitch, and a photographic memory, as well as a 4 1/2 octave range in his voice. Starting in the mid 1950's Elvis became more and more the "music arranger" and he taught everyone from his band - to the orchestra - and every backup singer exactly what he wanted and he was a perfectionist when it came to his endeavors.

Hi Mae ann! This is trivia that I have to admit I am not completely sure of so I have sent it to the expert pool for you. Elvis' favorite singers were Mario Lanzo and Dean Martin. He loved music period and many songs. Of the many composers who wrote songs for Elvis or who wrote songs Elvis recorded I think J. Leber and Mike Stroller wrote 24 recorded by Elvis. They were the two "Jewish white guys" who wrote Houndog for Big Mama Thornton. Many mistakenly say that Elvis "stole" this from her, but she did not even write it! People don't get their facts straight..her version was a raw blues version and Elvis turned it into Rocknroll and made it his own. He also recorded 10 songs by Otis Blackwell.
