Obviously other Country artists believed songs sung by Elvis and Roy were Country. For example, John Schneider started his singing career with this Elvis song...
In 1965 Waylon Jennings recorded this Roy Orbison classic...
Bobby Bare recorded this song made famous by Elvis...
Lorrie Morgan included this Elvis song on her 2009 album "A Moment In Time"...
Waylon Jennings teamed up with Jesse Colter to do this Elvis song...
In the early 70s Glen Campbell released this Roy Orbison hit...
In the mid 70s, Linda Ronstadt put this Roy Orbison song on the Country charts...
Several years after Elvis released the album "Elvis Country," Narvel Felts recorded the hit from that album....
Willie Nelson actually wrote this song, but Elvis recorded before Willie came out with his own version...
Elvis released "Little Sister" in 1961. Dwight Yoakam came out with it in 1987...
Jerry Lee Lewis actually recorded this before Roy Orbison, it actually came out on a 78 rpm....
There can be no doubt, the careers of Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison were intertwined with Country music. They did songs of Country artists, and Country artists did their songs.
I hope you enjoyed this 2 part presentation, "Were Elvis and Roy Country?"
