Treat Yourself To An Elvis Tribute San Francisco

By Cornelia White


Finding an Elvis tribute San Francisco is not difficult. He is one of the most famous and well known performers of all time and although he is no longer performing live he lives on in the thousands of people who impersonate him and attempt to match his talent. Nearly forty years after his death, he still has as many fans and followers as he did as a young entertainer.

He began as a local performer in Memphis, Tennessee and was soon picked up by RCA records. His first single hit the top of the charts and his career in professional singing began. He first appeared on television on the Jack Paar show followed by an appearance on Ed Sullivan in which only his head was televised because of the way he moved when he sang. One of his best attributes was that he could span the entire genre of music styles with ease. Crossing over into several markets with one song was a common event.

He began making movies in 1956 and recording sound tracks for them. The movies were popular with his following and were profitable but they cannot be said to be Oscar material. After a stint in the Army he returned to recording and making movies. At that time he stopped doing live performances for nearly seven years. He returned to do tours in 1968 and was the first concert star globally broadcast by way of satellite. He died on August 16, 1977 and three days later a new release was marketed.

Today there are many people who have copied his style of dance, dress and speech. A few can imitate his singing voice when performing some of his hit songs. Very few of these people can cover the full spectrum of his talent.

With so many professional impersonators in the city you can book the King for birthdays, weddings, graduation parties or any other event that you have a notion to host. Most will give an excellent performance that will please you and your guests. Unfortunately you will have to look for a much larger venue to find something that qualifies as a tribute to the King.

Fans and followers often hold conferences in honor of the King. Impersonators dress the role and perform on and off stage. A general atmosphere of party prevails and the public is encouraged to attend and enjoy the show. Through all of this, the professionals find time to peruse auditoriums filled with memorabilia and unique items to add to their repertoires.

In September 2013 the Giants base ball team sponsored a game dedicated to his memory with all proceeds going to charity. During the game and prior to it the audience was treated to performances by some of the best impersonators available. The first twenty thousand attendees were given bobble-head dolls and posters depicting the event. The game was a sell out and many fans came dressed as The King.

The base ball game was held in September of 2013 and is the most recent Elvis tribute San Francisco. Happily it was a tremendous success and because it was hopefully they will repeat it again next year. As it is over twenty thousand people had a memorable experience and the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation got a very nice donation.
