329 Elvis Presley (1935-1977) “Wear My Ring (Around Your Neck)” 1958

Despite its juvenile lyrics, “the R&B crowd loved ‘Wear My Ring’”…By the late fifties, “white artists found it difficult to compete with real R&B music.” Presley was “one of the few white singers who could do justice to the genre created by African Americans” (Collins, Untold Gold).
