Attending 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.

His success as a performer began in 1956 when he cut Heartbreak Hotel. That song rocketed to number one on the charts and led to several television appearances that helped to cement his future as a all round singer. He started the rock and roll era but could cross over to country-western, ballads, blues and spiritual songs at will. His ability to traverse the music field so thoroughly made him an icon of American entertainment.

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.

His talent was so great that copying the full spectrum of his music is nearly impossible. There are impersonators that can mimic his posture, stage presence, dress and speech patterns but few can successfully duplicate his entire range of music. Perhaps that is why he is called the King.

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.

Some of the best local impersonators of the King were presented at a Giants base ball game dedicated to his memory. At the game fans were treated to performances before the game and again during the game. They also received door prizes of bobble head dolls and wall posters advertising the event. Presley's charitable foundation received the proceeds from the game and it was a sellout event of over twenty thousand attendees.

The baseball game was the most recent Elvis tribute San Francisco and it proved to be a great success. There were several winners during and after the event. The fans were treated to a tremendous show as well as gifts and a knock out win by the Giants and the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation received a donation of the proceeds from the game.
