Well, I think Chuck Berry didn't like him that much.
And Bing Crosby wasn't his biggest fan either.

Like Sinatra, Crosby wasn't a fan at the beginning. But he learned to accept Elvis later on.
He even made some nice comments in a radio interview after Elvis died, and just two months before he himself croaked.

Michael Jackson wrote in Moonwalk that he was not a fan of Elvis and he didn't have any influence on him... Haha ...of course...
Poke a little sock salad...
Im suprised that Ray Charles wasn't a fan. There were alot of artists simliar to Ray i.e Fats domino, Jackie Wilson that seemed to like Elvis.
I think alot of those original 50s artists like Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee and Little Richard felt jelous of Elvis in a way and so came across as not liking him sometimes. But iv heard interviews with those ppl about Elvis' influence.
I'm sure there was a lot of jealousy, nobody hit it as big as he did/does still. Shows the immence talent of our Man!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chuck seemed to be not much of a fan at the beginning, but he did acknowledge him in a good way by the time of Elvis dead.
A total not fan: Irving Berlin on his reaction about Elvis recording White Christmas.
Bing and Sinatra did end up saying some nice things about Elvis but I doubt they were fans of his they were both from a different generation.
Remember when Jerry Lee Lewis "The Killer", was arrested (I think was around 1976) for waving a gun out side Graceland? Na but he didn't mean no harm, he was just pissed (and to drunk) because the guards didn't let him in to visit his friend, "supposedly" Elvis was in L.A. or something.
Anyhow I think Jerry could not be regarded as a non fan, and actually I do tend to think that he loved the guy, he just was and still is sometimes to jealous about it, and thatīs when the put downs on Elvis came out of his whiskey soaked great singing throat.
You seem to have your way of describing things involving death!
Anyway.. a lot of rock stars from the 60's and 70's weren't too crazy about/for Elvis. If the opportunity arises they may add something positive.
In other cases, musicians share their opinion based on qualitative judgement, as Johnny Cash described Elvis' music as "overproduced". He was probably right, but it'd go too far to say Johnny simply hated him, LOL!
Of course jealousy played a key role as so many were keen to claim that title of the president of rock 'n roll (the US is a republic, so how can you ever have a king?)..

Chuck D and some other rappers dont like him. But than again who like's rappers...
The can't sing a song so the talk all wrong... hahaha
Spike Lee?
Really?
What a shocker.
Spike Lee and Chuck D? These people should give their heads a shake.
The One and Only King of Rock'n'Roll.
Your corollary makes no sense.
Mario Lanza was a fan. Being from a "different generation" had nothing to do with it.
