The public could see an elvis tribute carried out in a variety of ways. Grandmothers who grew up listening to Heartbreak Hotel are turning their grandbabies into a third generation of Elvis fans. Women relate fond memories of attending his concerts. Memorabilia is still big business.
The King was primarily categorized as a rock star. The truth is, he did quite a bit of country songs and loved gospel music. In fact, he had Grammy Awards for his gospel recordings.
The first Grammy was awarded in 1967 for Best Sacred Performance. Then in 1972 he won a second Grammy for Best Inspirational Performance. He won another Grammy in 1974, for the Best Inspirational Song.
Long after his death, he was awarded a Grammy posthumously. This was in 1993 in commemoration of his double-sided hit recording of Hound Dog and Dont Be Cruel. Among his many accolades, perhaps the annual candlelight ceremony on the anniversary of his passing remains the most important.
Every year, on August sixteenth, fans travel from all over the planet to attend. Each carries a candle and stands in line quietly waiting to file past his grave to remember him. He died at the early age of 42 years. It is a somber ceremony with sad faced and crying people gathering to honor him.
Impersonators acknowledge his greatness by entering look-alike contests in which their appearances and voices are judged. The most talented make a living singing in clubs and on stages. There are shows put on in Branson Missouri, Las Vegas, Memphis Tennessee and other locations from one side of the US to the other.
A new show featuring one group and one single performer are launching a show called From Graceland to the Promised Land. The singer from Australia performs as a single act and the group performs Presleys great gospel hits. Audiences are eager to hear the history of his gospel hits as well as his rock music.
The impersonators, who prefer to be called tribute performers, compete in a variety of contests for a variety of titles. One is the prestigious Spirit of Elvis Award. The kings voice, his dance moves, which were once called indecent, and his looks are done to perfection by the best of the best.
Festivities in Memphis are attended by fans from all over during the week surrounding his passing. Men in white jumpsuits with eagles on the back and blue suede shoes proliferate in the city. Fans enjoy stage shows and concerts.
There have been female Presley impersonators, child impersonators and imitators from Japan, Malaysia and all the European countries. Souvenirs fly off the shelves in the gift shops in Memphis and peanut butter and banana sandwiches are sold in every restaurant in town including the relatively new Heartbreak Hotel.
Elvis Lives is an elvis tribute show that has a schedule to tour many cities. A festival takes place in Europe. Graceland is one of the most frequented tourist locations. He purchased the mansion for his mother and it served as his residence until his passing. His talent is revered and his popularity unparalleled. A thousand years from now, he will continue to be remembered.
