This is quite an interesting piece I found on the four categories suggested as the Elvis impersonator chain...
Who are these performers and what motivates them? Are they professional entertainers, simply fun-loving fans with varying degrees of musical talent, overweight and psychologically challenged individuals or a hybrid of all these?
What follows is a guide to the world of the Elvis impersonator, its different levels and an explanation of why there is ongoing fascination with the phenomenon. It is clear looking at all aspects of the phenomenon that it is one that should not be dismissed lightly.
The Impersonator (Pyramid) Nomenclature There are essentially four categories in the Elvis impersonator pyramid chain:
- Full-time Professionals
- Part-time Professionals
- Recreational Impersonators
- Elvisoids
Thanks Nigel Patterson for this great Spotlight on the King!
