To set the record strait, Elvis Presley did write 2 songs he recorded. You'll be gone-1961 That's someone you'll never forget -1962.

The man who wrote most of Elvis Presley's songs was a black man named Otis Blackwell, who died penniless.
Edit- Elvis only recorded 10 Otis Blackwell songs from 1956-1962. Blackwell was a successful producer as well as a writer, he did NOT die penniless
He's certainly better known as a singer/performer rather than a singer/songwriter.
