ETA Legend Rick Saucedo

It's great to see brand-new videos of Rick-this one from last month has been posted on YouTube

If anyone qualifies for the title ETA legend- it's Rick. He's been doing his show since 1972!!! And if this video is anything to go by, he is better than ever.
He's one of the true ETA pioneers along with Johnny Harra, Rick Marino, Artie Mentz and a few others!
Just off the top of my head- I am pretty sure that the longest-running ETAs who are still performing today would be

1-Johnny Harra: Started in the early 70s

2- Rick Saucedo: Started in 1972

3- Artie Mentz: Late 70s


4- Liberty Mounten: Early 80s

Interesting post!

Just a note that Rick Marino, who has been performing an ETA tribute since before Elvis died, is still performing occasionally also..mostly in the Jacksonville, Florida area.

For those that might be interested, here is an awesome article about Rick Marino on Lady Luck Music...

Johnny started in the 60s if I remember right, he or someone told me he did a show out in vegas before elvis was in vegas. As that being true not 100% sure. But I would be interested in asking him what songs he did or dressed if he did perform as elvis in vegas before elvis was out there.

I`ve got Ricks book - not a bad read.

Hey Mike,
Yes I also have Rick's book


- I really liked that photo in it of Rick at an Elvis concert with Elvis standing right in front of him!!!
You can tell Rick is a very dedicated ETA who eats, sleeps and breathes The King and is not just doing it for the money!!!
