"Some of them sing, some of them dance, some of them just look cartoonish in black wigs — but Elvis impersonator Tom Bartlett is said to be the real deal. We’ve heard he sings like Elvis, dances like Elvis and looks like Elvis. Doubters can find out for themselves when Bartlett brings his “Tribute to Elvis” to Florence Civic Center on Oct. 4."
That's what Nicholas Hilbourn says when he's describing the Elvis impersonator phenomenon.
In this case he's been talking of the sentimentality attached to the "Golden Arches".. it's a good read - interview and all..
You can see A Tribute To Elvis from 8 p.m. Oct. 4 at Florence Civic Center..

Like I always say - Elvis impersonators, they come in all shapes and sizes, young or old male or female and even children in some instances.. and race is not an issue..
Is there anyone else in history that has had this level of respect and adoration from such a diverse group?

Great article that says.. "As my final taste of the Indiana State Fair, the Elvis impersonators kept me smiling and laughing for the whole hour and a half I was there."
And that is the case.. Elvis impersonator fans have good taste and they have a great sense of humor!
But ultimately, they are fans of the King himself.. imagine so many people trying to emulate you so long after your death! Is there anyone else in the world in our history that has this level of respect and adoration that this has been the case?

We'd also like to pay tribute to Larry Kewley who died at the age of 59.
"With king-sized modesty, Larry always admitted he was one of the worst Elvis Presley impersonators in the world, but he used his talents to raise money for many good causes at charity shows."
“He was generous with his time, always doing something for charity, from participating in the donkey derby to his infamous ‘Worst Elvis’ shows, helping raise money for charities including St David’s Hospice, Hope House, Clic Sargent and the tsunami appeal,” said his niece Chance Marsh.
