Maybe as a singer...if he hadn`t tried elvis.
a thin voice, no balls on the 50`s songs.....his voice cracks on the rocking stuff and especially on the high notes...
i was and am very disappointed when hearing him on those movies (also on "elvis and me".....really bad, ok...in terms of elvis impersonators there is always room to the bottom.....but i don`t consider him "OK" in terms of mimicking elvis. Hell, i heard better frank sinatra impersonators...and he is not easy to mimmick.....with that distinctive voice.....)
its not only that he doesnt`t sound like elvis...i could live with that....but his limitations with his voals shows in those two movies, a few examples excluded....my happiness is quite well sung actually..
but on all uptempo and rock songs he fails miserably in my ears and sounds amateurish to me...sorry for sounding harsh...but thats my honest opinion.

From the Jarvis estate. Felton's souvenirs (I would like to share), from the Elvis film with Kurt Russell that Felton Jarvis produced (music)..including autograph made to Felton that shows Kurt was sure at least, the music was good! ....plus a load of stills, jacket, soundtrack album, and a script. I will post these if there is interest.
This type purchasing/acquiring thing "opened the door" for the excellent Elvis materials most here have witnessed me sharing! One never knows what sill awaiting to be "discovered".

You should produce and or mix music, Pacer.
Your listening skills have me going back and listening to the music you refer to (which I enjoy doing), and then I hear what you have pointed out, doing so for me, gives more detail to the music, which brings it even more alive, so it is more enjoyable.
I agree, for Ronnie to imitate Elvis' voice range from baritone to tenor, Ronnie did not have the low range of baritone to imitate,as Elvis.
I don't know, if, thus far, after all these years, if anyone can imitate Elvis' voice.
Is there anyone?

I’m not into these imps, so I’m not familiar with them, but I think Orion was as close as you could get.

Check out a song called, "Born". Really nice.
Vince Everett has the 50's sound down pretty well.
And in my opinion, effortlessly. As if he naturally sang like that. For those that do not know, it was Felton Jarvis that discovered and produced him.cadillac-elvis wrote:I thought Orion has the voice of the 70's Elvis down pretty good.
