Haha, guess I'm gonna continue with my "cast your vote" series even though I've gotten some pretty funky responses regarding my choice of comparisons.
I feel with regards to Elvis versus James Brown its a very wonderful comparison, because both were so vastly influential. It's easy to see Elvis as the most dominant figure in the history of popular music (at least 20th century popular music), but lest not forget that James Brown played a pivotal role in both soul and funk music. Easily, James Brown is the Godfather of both genres. And both were spectacular showmen.
Have fun with this one.
