Even if he didn't screw himself, Jerry Lee wasn't going to surpass him. On par? sure but the popularity of Elvis was a phenomenon that can't be easily explained.

Jerry was more rock n roll than Elvis but what killed his career more than anything was having zero charisma and was an a-hole.

The only artist that Elvis said was superior to him was classically trained singer Roy Orbison.
