Elvis got his success thanks to timing I think.
That's all.
One lucky guy in the right place at the right time.
Popular music was changing.
Social attitudes to young folk were changing.
Radio was changing.
Music listening equipment at home was changing.
Television was in it's heyday.
Like I say. One very lucky guy !
Berry ? Well, he's certainly the jukebox king !
Producers; radio managers; promoters all liked Berry because he could produce the perfect 2minute 30second jukebox tune !
Which made them all a lot of money !!
As an artist ? Not bad singer. Good performer. Pretty good writer too.

Elvis also had a great voice. Thing is, I find his voice and style falling in line with the great crooners, like Dean martin, than with the blues singers who were so basic to rock and roll.
