Elvis Presley-It's yesterday once more

Elvis Presley- It’s yesterday once more
By Lintang Bob Yong

Elvis died in the year of 1977 at the age of 42 and today, Aug 16 is the 32nd anniversary of his death.
Elvis was the king of rock ‘n’ roll, an international icon and a pop superstar in the music world. Elvis recorded more than 700 songs and many hundreds more that were not released. Till today, his music is still as popular as ever. Shortly after his death, rumours had it that he had been seen in many parts of the world. His fans simply did not accept that he was gone.
Elvis was my favourite singer too and like many others, I am one of his millions of ardent fans. His unique voice and singing style had a great influence on me. I like his songs and naturally would impersonate his style of singing and I, at my younger days tried very hard to be a copy-cat of him. Even now, I continue to sing his songs with enthusiasm and passion.
I have recorded some of his songs and burned a CD as a tribute to him in 2007.

There could be more than 70,000 Elvis impersonators all over the world. In Malaysia, I met quite a few of them personally.
