Amazing how much those white boys ripped of these black artists, this is way better than Elvis's version IMO and shows how much those white boy guitarists like Clapton, Beck, Page etc 'borrowed' theyre licks.... this was recorded while they were in short pants.

Depends how far back you want to go. Private scroggins and his military band chums would probably have something to say about those pesky black folk nicking their rhythms.
