We've got one round here called Elvis Preseli.

The way I've heard it is that it was all a bit quiet after the introductions, I think the Beatles were a bit a star struck, Elvis joked if you're just going to stare at me I'm going to bed, they all laughed and the ice was broken, so to speak.

Yes, that's the story from Shout. Very different from (the more sensationalist) In My Life. Only a few living people will know the truth, I guess.

When I lived in Ruislip there was a Chinese restaurant on the high street who had "Chinese Elvis" performing once per month. He looked and sounded like Cliff Richard in a white rhinestone jumpsuit. Quite fun though.

I just can see or hear him without picturing every Elvis impersonator there is. He really did become a parody of himself. Having said that Ghetto and suspicious minds are good.

He didn't parody himself, others did it after his death.
The urban myth is that there were fewer than 200 impersonators when he died and now there are 100,000.

Not a clue where I was when he died but can remember what I was doing when JFK was assassinated though.

Where you on a grassy knoll in Dallas perchance?
