    Elvis said he got his stage mannerisms from the church he went to as a child. From what I hear, Elvis' maternal grandmother was a jew, so Elvis would be a jew. But they did try to start Elvis out in country music. Today, his music is played more often on country music radio stations than on rock. ( My observation.)  I think the whole Elvis is a Jew thing is blown out of proportion. The Jews like to make much ado about nothing so they can claim him as one of the tribe. Technically he was Jewish since his mother had Jewish ancestry but it doesen't appear to have been very much and he was a Christian all of his life. Elvis was a total mutt for the most part, Scottish, German, Cherokee, French, Jewish, and I think Dutch also, I consider him White enough. 1/16th Jewish isn't a big deal to me, he wasn't an observant Jew or anything like that.      In 1998,  The Wall Street Journal  published an article titled, All Shook Up in the Holy Land exposing Elvis Presley's unlikely Jewish lineage. Apparently, Elvis' maternal great-great grandmother, Nancy Burdine, was a Jew. Her daughter gave birth to Doll Mansell who gave birth to Gladys Smith who gave birth to Elvis. Although it sounds improbable, according to Jewish law, which confers Jewish lineage by way of the mother, that makes Elvis Presley Jewish.         So according to the Wall Street Journal article his great great grandmother was a jewess, so that would make Elvis what, 1/16th Jewish? I'm not to worried about it myself.
