Well, Elvis changed too. You can't take extreme examples and try to make a
point. However, try listening to some of Sinatra's Tommy Dorsey material and
comparing that to early Elvis. Or later to later. Oh, and by the way they
both did My Way. Both started as teen idols, both went to movies, both went
to Los Vegas.
BTW, Heartbreak Hotel wasn't Sun material.
