Kingly Klush


This article is worth a read - here is just a snippet:

Recently he was named the international champion of BBC1's "World's Greatest Elvis Competition" in the United Kingdom and was chosen by Graceland as the winner of Elvis Presley Enterprises' first ever "Ultimate Tribute Artist Contest."

So what makes him such a good Presley impersonator?"I fit in the same clothes," Klush laughed. "I can say anything we do, it's done with the utmost respect to the original. We don't add anything to it. We don't take anything from it. Even some mistakes we keep.

Part of that mystique was Elvis Presley."Klush annually keeps the legend alive by taking part in the "Elvis Birthday Tribute Tour," which returns to Cleveland today at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre. Joining Klush at the show marking what would have been the King's 74th birthday also will be impersonator Donny Edwards.

Both acts will be performing with The Fabulous Ambassadors Show Band and Rivington Station. Hosting the event will be original Presley drummer D.J. Fontana, who shares intimate anecdotes throughout the evening."

Sounds fabulous!
