Elvis's existence and career perhaps, but Elvis himself? Unless I'm mistaken, it was the people around Elvis that did the real work. Whereas MJ himself wrote a good portion of his own music, produced it, and produced many other people's music himself.
So when it comes to which
individual had a greater direct impact, I stand by MJ.
But yes, Beatles beat both in all categories.
