Elvis may have passed on to that great Las Vegas showroom in
the sky, but Iowa's got the next best thing…..He's Melvis, and he can rock you
right down to your blue suede shoes baby!!
Melvis (formerly Cleophis J. Simmons of Osage, Iowa) shimmies
and shakes his way into your heart with some of the Kings classic hits. Whether
he's crooning "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", or rattlin' the shutters with
"Jailhouse Rock", Melvis is the quintessential Elvis Stylist.
In the words of Melvis:
"I don't impersonate Elvis, 'cause gosh darn it a guy
shouldn't aughtta do nuthin like that. I just really liked him, and especially
liked the way he treated his Momma so nice. I just kinda want to make sure
nobody forgets about him."
All that humility and talent packed into the original 1968
Vegas Comeback black leather outfit! It's just too much tribute to miss!! Come
meet Melvis at the New Lenox Shopko on Sunday at 3:pm. He'll be signing
autographs and breaking hearts!
See ya there!!
