Singalong-a-Elvis gave hundreds of fans the chance to perform their favourite Presley tunes at the Hall For Cornwall in March. Two excellent impersonators sang the classic songs on stage, while the lyrics appeared on a big screen behind them.  | | Heath Ashton as Elvis |
All the greats were included from the rock and roll years (Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes) through the movie years (Viva Las Vegas and GI Blues) to the Vegas comeback period (My Way and American Trilogy) The audience were given goody bags featuring flags, and trumpets to add even more of a party atmosphere to the Elvis night. In no time at all people were out of their seats dancing to the rock tunes, and swaying to the romantic ballads. The two hour show included gospel, country, and blues capturing as many of the Elvis hits as possible.  | | Performing Suspicious Minds |
To show the King was still as big a chart influence today, as he was in his heyday, the night included the recent hits 'A Little Less Conversation' and 'Rubberneckin' Even the man himself made a brief appearance on the screen, smiling in a 50s pose. I bet if the King had seen the fun his fans had at the Hall For Cornwall, he would have been grinning from ear to ear. All too soon the night was over, a familiar voice filled the hall saying 'Elvis has left the building, thank you and good night'. Elvis may have left the building, but nearly 28 years after his death, the King is very much alive in the hearts of his fans. |
