Important point here is that ODJB were NOT the first to play jazz...they
just happened to be the first to record it for an important label!

Both possible; I don't have the expertise here?

Again, Elvis didn't "create" anything new...he was just the first to copy
the work of Black performers. As well, he was very good-looking and
thus had gazillions of female teen-age admirers...! The Crudup tune
he "covered" is/was an almost exact copy of Crudup's original recording!
