Unfortunately it was closer to 20 years than 30 but because of that voice and his stage presence Elvis is one of the all time greats.
He came from an era when songwriting was not expected from a singer. In my opinion Elvis and Sinatra are still the two best popular music singers and yes neither wrote their own material.
didn't like either of them at the time but watching videos and listening to their music now you realise how unique they were.

Of course they both had great stage presence,but come the 60s you had to write your own material too...shacking up with 14 yo girls was somehow also overlooked in his case,unlike Jerry.
