UK's most successful Elvis Presley impersonator - LEE 'Memphis’ King

Lee "Memphis"King was the British finalist in The World's Greatest Elvis competition and has previously been voted the number one Elvis tribute at Canada's Collingwood Festival. He's in concert this Sunday in Liverpool, England.

But poor Lee's whole interview seems to focus on the King's diet rather than Lee's talent. Here's an excerpt.. interesting approach:

“One thing is for sure, although I try and imitate Elvis Presley in as much detail as I possibly can, I don't follow his diet. I try to follow a healthy lifestyle and work out a lot, even when I am on tour.

Elvis impersonator Brian Martin

I love to cover all sorts of news on Elvis impersonators - like this article from the Hartford Advocate which says:

"Appropriately attired in a white jumpsuit, Martin as Elvis was phenomenal and sounded great. He was a one-man show, working the sound system and adjusting disco lights in between belting out favorites from "Hound Dog" to "Unchained Melody." The dance floor stayed crowded and although enthusiasts hounded him for attention all night, Martin never let his energy level sag. Even when a birthday cake arrived at the table behind us and we overheard him incredulously ask, "Another one?" as he left the stage to serenade the recipient."

What a great wrap for Brian - a true professional no doubt!
