about the book
Packaged with a pair of plush, paste-on sideburns, a ring, and a pair of Elvis sunglasses, this is the must-have kit for every Elvis wannabe. Whether the goal is small (to imitate Elvis authentically at a party) or lofty (to take the stage at an Elvis tribute artist event) this complete guide to reincarnation as the King takes readers step by step through the metamorphosis. Topics include:
• Which Elvis to be (50’s Elvis, 70’s Elvis, Movie Star Elvis, Gospel Elvis, or Rockabilly)
• Costumes and accessories
• Hair and sideburns
• How to sing like the King
• The moves, stage presence, and dialect
• How to be a non-white and/or non-male Elvis
• The Elvis training diet (including a few recipes)
• And much more!

Read sage advice and testimonials from professional Elvis tribute artists, pick up little-known facts about your idol, and cash in on the subtle secrets to achieving the essence of Elvis.
