Roy Orbinson ? Frank Sinatra ? Mario Lanza ? ...

[GIORGIA]

Mario Lanza!

Mario Lanza (y)http://imalbum.aufeminin.com/album/D20080910/466185_KYSPQJVF48IKVK4DS5G7W37JCZ6MFV_0189marioout sideportrait_H013130_L.jpg

[Raised on Rock]

I think as a teen he liked and admired Frank, but he did not was his idol, as Mario Lanza do was.

Roy Hamilton was a favorite Elvis singer that I learned to love because of Elvis.

[May]

I suppose Frank. Prefer Dean myself.

[debtdbruno]

Of them 3, I prefer Roy. Not a fan of Sinatra

[Diane]

Toss up between Roy Orbison and Mario Lanza

I did like Mario Lanza when he first came on the scene. I liked a couple of Roy Obison's
songs, too. But, really I did not like any of the three that much. Before Elvis I was a
fan of country music.

[john carpenter]

I suppose Frank. Prefer Dean myself.(y)(y)

Dino for sure(y)

[Brian]

of those 3 Mario Lanza was an idol of Elvis.

I don't think Elvis was really a fan of Frank Sinatra.

As for Roy Orbison Elvis might of appreciated his singing talents and enjoyed some of his songs but Roy was no idol of Elvis.

Elvis was the one that actually inspired Roy.

[The Everlasting Gaze]

Roy Orbison.

[kathy parkinson]

Mario for me, then Roy,then Dean instead of Frank, sorry Frank fans.

I thought Dean Martin had a big impact on a teenage Elvis as well? I would go with Mario Lanza,then maybe Frank Sinatra.

[denilson]

NO DOUBT.....THE GREAT ROY HAMILTON...GOT ALL HIS COLLECTION...IF YOU DON'T KNOW HIM...TRY THIS ONE YouTube - ROY HAMILTON-ANGELICA ELVIS GAVE HIM TO RECORD...:D

I agree with you!
And for Me Frank no(My Opinion:blush:!)

[mozzarella]

I'd say Dean, Frank and Lanza. Gee even when Elvis smiles he resembles to Dean Martin a bit. I really don't think though that he idolized Frank, he just simply acknowledged him as a great singer.

[Lisarose]

hard to choose, I've always been partial to Dean Martin, yet Roy Orbison
I love his "I drove all Night" and yes, there's Roy Hamilton - those voices
just do something to me.
No, I can't decide.

[Jimmy1966]

Clyde McPhatter - Dean Martin - And Mario lanza without doubt

[Merry]

Dino :D

"Mr Smooth". He was so talented, funny, I love his music, he knew how to make people feel good. I loved to watch Ann-Margret and Goldie Hawn interact with him, just the looks on their faces, you could tell what a great person he was (besides his talent). Then, John Wayne - all around him loved every minute, just great (y)

[KPM]

Dean Martin-then Roy.
Dean Martin is just so smooth in his style-it melts out of his mouth-seems effortless.

[hounddog]

Roy for me

[Elisabeth]

Dean Martin is one of my favourites.

[Dino78]

Signore Dino Crocetti.
Followed by Roy Orbison, Francis Albert Sinatra.

[LISY]

I like Roy Orbison and Dino, but i know Elvis really liked Jackie Wilson and James Brown and I would say these are my preferred of artists he enjoyed...
