The song came during his brief heyday and hit a nerve. He had many songs that compete for his best: Heartbreak Hotel, All Shook Up, others. But Jailhouse Rock also had a big spot in a movie. It was one of the early songs that established rock n roll as white. Once people sorted out that the guys who wrote their own songs were the real rock n rollers, Elvis went into legend status and his actual work didn't matter at all.
I'd pick a different song honestly, It's classified as influential because it helped ';shape'; rock %26amp; roll I think Johnny b. good by chuck berry is a better choice personally.
