Today is remembered as the day that Elvis Presley died in Memphis, he was only 42.

Go to:Wikipedia and Google Elvis Presley.

Even the Beatles were jealous of him.

So........without realizing today was the anniversary of Elvis' passing, I'm reading about this fella Orion in Cool and Strange Magazine. He came out in the late 70s, sounded amazingly like Elvis, and wore a sparkly Lone Ranger mask. Did a search and damn.....he was actually a pretty decent singer.


So I'm posting one of his clips-(not to hijack the thread, I'll post Elvis' "Do the Clam" later)
