| On the Bill Bixby "The Elvis Files" show in 1991, Johnny Harra says he has been impersonating Elvis about 35 years now, since he was 11 years old. That would mean Johnny was 56 in 1991. So he would now be 73. Can anyone verify this? | |

| By my maths, this would make him 63. |

| I was wondering who would be the first to spot my "deliberate" mistake (yeah right). You are quite right, by this reckoning it would indeed make him around 63. But I remmeber hearing somewhere that he was the same age as Leyton Summers. And given that after Leyton very sadly passed away, it emerged he was the same age as Elvis.... The 1999 documentary Almost Elvis did a short profile on Johnny Harra, it stated he still "occasionally makes appearances..." I wonder why, if he is only 63 he only makes occassional appearances. I mean, when was the last time we saw Johnny in any recent documentary or competition. Of course, an ETA Legend like Johnny has nothing left to prove. After a rumoured million-dollar contract at the Silverbird Casino in 1978, he is more than entitled to enjoy his retirement (if he is retired) or there might be other private issues we don't know about. It just seems like so long since we saw anything of Johnny, I hope he is well and happy. | |

| 'Save the last dance' must have been popular.. here is Jimmy Ellis (Orion) singing it... Very Very Elvisy, even his speaking voice ... scary! I can see why people might have been swept away with thinking it was Elvis, looks and moves nothin like but wow he can sing like him!

| I have the single on 45, and it says it is Elvis and one off the lost sun recordings, and it also is in a sleave, but your right Paul it is Orion with Jerry Lee, as all ETAs who study Elvis's voice will know how Elvis put is voice accross that it is not Elvis. I had a friend off mine saying he had Elvis singing Rockabilly Rebel i listened to it and told him it was Orion, he would not have it so i said ok its Elvis, I will dig the sleave out and copy and paste it on the board.
