Rock The Party With An Elvis Impersonator

By George Mitchell


Two words ruled the late fifties up to the early seventies. Rock N roll. When it needed a king in the sixties, people in the United States did not have to look long. A boy who grew up, hardened by the south but with a gift of music like no other in his generation up to now, took care of that.

And people would not mind telling you he earned that, as well as the right to be the king of that generation in music. The young ones needed a rebel that would represent them on a large stage and he became just that. They worshipped him, devoured his acts and years later, people decided to let him live on the likes of elvis impersonator san francisco.

Sure, it would be nothing like having the man himself performs for you. But he did not even live to be fifty, and the culture he defined made sure that his memory lived on for all those who were not yet born or got the chance to experience his art in the flesh. There was no on quite like him back in the days.

Not even Johnny Cash made an impact as enormous as this boy from Mississippi did. Frank Sinatra may have made girls swoon but Presley may have been the biggest of the circle of stars who defined that generation. Through his music and the way he moved, he encouraged the youth to defy the rules and rebelled with them.

Doing it professionally and making a living out of it may well be more than what one had bargained for. But impersonators are common today. Especially for an icon like that man. He had a signature look with clothes that you would not mistake on any other artist.

Finding one that would pass as Presley could get challenging since there are so many of them in the industry. Unlike before, this kind of thing is more than just for fun. People love to see performances with the man they had loved but maybe never known in the flesh before and would never get the chance to, come alive.

Today, impersonators are already professionally trained. It took them years of training and studying movements and mannerisms of how the artist sings or dances on stage, maybe even both. You will believe you are truly meeting the man himself when you get the right person for the entertainment.

Make use of the internet and do your homework. It would be obvious that they would sing the same songs and dance to the same tune. But then it is also better to see a sample, maybe a video or two about acts they have given before and see how you like it.

You would know who your man is if you yourself are a fan. It is all about the hair, the open neck suit and pants with the shining shoes. It would not take long for you to figure it out. Of course, the moves would matter just as much. The man was larger than life element and something that could not come close to even just a fraction of that would not be worth it.
