Tributes
to Elvis Presley & Rod Stewart
It is hard to believe that 30 years has passed since the death of Elvis.
I can still remember that day when I heard the news. It stopped me cold
in my tracks and I was stunned. Elvis was one of my favorite singers of
all time and I was so sad when he died.
No one can ever replace him, but we do have many that pay tribute to him
everyday, and they come in all shapes and sizes. Some are great, some
are good, and some are so so. I always appreciate their talent as they
sing and imitate Elvis. There is one Elvis impersonator that is the best
and that is Matt Lewis, who I saw perform at “Legends In Concert” at the
Imperial Palace in Las Vegas. He was fabulous. His singing, his looks,
his body (in his perfectly fitted black leather pants), and all his
moves were perfect. I thought I was watching Elvis Presley. The
sensations in my body moved to the music and the songs.
They saved the best for last as he was the closing act with a
spectacular performance and ending to a great show. It was thrilling and
exciting to have Matt Lewis in the radio studio as he talked about his
family and career. His smile and his beautiful blue green eyes were
overwhelming as he spoke. He has been in the show for over
10 years and he is still going strong.

Matt just completed a movie about The King’s life which shows his search
for spiritual knowledge and peace. It shows a side of him that has not
been portrayed in any films. It will be released later this year
People who saw the film said after hearing and seeing him in the film
they thought they were seeing a ghost because he was perfect as Elvis.

Matt was very relaxed
and sat back as we all joked around, laughed and had such a good
time. I promised I would go back to see the show again because once is
not enough. In reality, one can ever get enough of him. I could listen
to Matt all day and night when he is dressed up in his stunning outfits.
One jumpsuit cost $3800. He has perfected the moves, the mannerisms, the
looks, and the voice.
Joining Matt Lewis in our hour long radio show was Bob Stewart, a cousin
of Rod Stewart, and his beautiful and talented wife, JoRae Stewart.
Bob not only impersonates Rod Stewart, he has a canny resemblance to
him, I guess, because they are cousins. His raspy voice sounds exactly
like Rod, and it is very difficult to tell them apart.
Bob and JoRae are presently performing at “Bugsy’s” located at the
southwest corner of Jones and Sahara and will be there for only 2 more
weeks. They are going to London for a few weeks and then traveling to
other states before finally coming back to Las Vegas in December.

They are both in demand for private parties and in local hotel casinos.
JoRae has the voice of an angel, and when she sings songs by Celine Dion,
it sends chills throughout your body.
They play doo-wop, rock, country, oldies and contemporary music. Bob
records on Capital Records, plays the keyboard and sings lead with JoRae.
What a great combo these two make. They definitely compliment each
other. Bob is charming with his English accent and a delight to talk
with. What an Englishman. JoRae, a long legged beauty has Bob on bended
knee when he performs his “Hot Legs”. They both have the talent and the
whole package.
You know it is not easy to be an impersonator because an impersonator
has to be perfect, even better than the real thing. So when these
performers are perfect it is a great accomplishment. They deserve the
standing ovations they receive at the end of their performances. I
definitely stand up and applaud these great people and am thankful and
grateful that they are giving tribute to their idols. They then become
our idols who we can admire and adore, and we can thank them for
bringing joy and love into our lives. Actually this is what we do with
friends. I now consider them my friends, and what great friends they
are.
