Elvis...or Michael?

I'm not a student of music history (obviously) but is it not true that Elvis may be at a handicap in the song writing arena in that he came to fame in an age where it was relatively uncommon for performers to regularly write their own stuff? One question I'd have is, to the extent he wasn't writing his own stuff how involved was he in selecting what he'd perform?
