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.

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.

His career eventually took him to Hollywood and he starred in several movies that although they made plenty of money were not Academy Award winners. After a short break that lasted approximately seven years he made his come back and returned to the live stage for the rest of his life. Three days after his death in 1977 a new song was released and became an instant hit. There have been new versions of his music released nearly every year since his death.

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.

You can book an appearance with an impersonator to entertain at weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or any special event you like. Many entertainers do excellent impressions of the King and you should be pleased with their performance. Generally though, these private shows do not rise to the level of being called a tribute. You need to look to a much larger venue for that.

The city by the bay is the perfect spot to find conferences dedicated to the King. These conferences consist of thousands of impersonators and civilians coming together to sing his songs and pay homage to his greatness. The performers are known to hold impromptu shows on the streets or in a hotel lobby. An atmosphere of a party is prevalent but they all find time to find new ways to improve their performances and it is all open to the public.

In a sellout event the Giants base ball team put on a game dedicated to the king and his fans. They had several impersonators to entertain fans before and during the game. They also handed out door prizes to the first twenty thousand people through the gate. There were contests throughout the game for costuming and singing.

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.
