    just because Elvis sang a song doesn't necessarily mean he did a better version

    As much as I love 'My Way' Frank Sinatra will always have the edge.

    'Runaway' version by Del Shannon is better.

    'Gentle On My Mind' is better by Glen Campbell. don't get me wrong Elvis' version is good, sometime the version you heard first wins your heart.

    on the flip side 'You Were Always On My Mind' by Willie Nelson is eclipsed by Elvis purely by the pathos Elvis gives it.

    I can't name any artist who IMO covered an Elvis song better than the king, although I'm sure that someone may argue that point.

    Have to agree...the instances of other artist bettering Elvis version of a song are few and far between.... although it`s down to personal taste I much prefer Elvis` version of "Gentle on my mind" to the Glen Campbell version! One artist I think really suited Elvis` style was the late Jerry Reed...love to have heard Elvis cover more of his songs.
