How many legends of Rock’n Roll can there be in a single lifetime? Well, frankly, it is a surprising number! Loads of people have gone by that honorific. Some we’ve heard of and others we’ think of in different avenues... Chuck Berry, Solomon Burke, Fats Domino, Alan Freed, Bill Haley, Little Richard… and that doesn’t even count the Kings of Country, Pop, Blues, and all the rest. It makes a person really wonder how the King of Rock and Roll immediately conjures up the image of Elvis Presley, even for those of us who sadly missed his living days (unless, of course, Death Becomes Her wasn’t lying)…

Of course, that isn’t so hard to answer, is it? Presley had a style so much his own and so memorable that we can find contests all about who can most closely impersonate the musical and film giant. There are even categories. Look-alikes and Sound-alikes, Young Presleys, Jailhouse Rock Presleys, Too Many Peanut-Butter-and-Banana Sandwiches Presleys… Perhaps the King isn’t truly dead so long as we continue to honor his memory with some fantastic impersonations while wearing some of his most famous costumes.
