Anyone who knows about Elvis impersonators will know about Bill Cherry..

Elvis impersonator’s show to rock TCA - Adrian, MI - Daily Telegram


Dave King will bring his Elvis impersonation to the Tecumseh Center for the Arts for shows Friday and Saturday.

"The year was 1972. The place was Las Vegas. The entertainer was Elvis Presley. And for at least one person in the audience, life started to change.

“I saw the reaction of the crowd,” said Dave King.

“There was an electricity that permeated from the stage to the audience and back. He had a powerful presentation. And he looked larger than life.”

That was the first of three times over the next couple of years that King saw Presley perform, the next two being a year later in Detroit and then at Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, where Presley was not only much heavier than even at his Detroit appearance but was also “clearly not well,” King said.

Read the whole interview here - it's good.
