There is a huge difference between dating, and raping. R.Kelly is disgusting.
My grandma was 17 or 18 when she married grandpa. He was 32. 50 years of wedded bliss.
The oranges of the island are like blazing fire
Amongst the emerald boughs
And the lemons are like the paleness of a lover
Who has spent the night crying.

I am guessing that was pretty commonplace. It wasn't just Elvis.
He was a pioneer of it,that's how he became famous.And not being the only one doesn't make it right.
You're so woke! Such a social justice warrior! Thank God you're here to critique everything always! Can you find something else that offends you about him or another group that he wronged that's completely off topic to the post? Please?

Stating a truth is not racist. Music being stolen from white musicians back then was not as common as stealing it from black artists.

My great grandma married at 14(not sure how old my great grandpa was i never met him)... She was born in 1910 and then that's just what you did. She married young and worked on the farm. That women could call the hogs to eat like no one's business hahahaha

Oh stop, no he didn’t. Black people are not the only ones who had ever played a guitar before. Drums in the song? Must have stolen that too. Or wait, was it that black people were the only ones who shook their hips before him...

“Stolen music” means someone took your song and then passed it off as their own.

If you decide to play the flute in your song that is a little faster paced, that doesn’t bar anyone else from ever using a flute without that meaning they stole your shit.

Mhm. And I’m sure you considered it stealing when he recorded Hound Dog due to the fact that he was sold the rights to sing it BY THE SONGWRITER... because it had been sung before by Big Mama Thornton, right?

Damn those evil white people again.

Are we going to call out Whitney Houston for stealing Dolly Parton’s song? Or is this another sin that only white people can commit?
