Ferlin Husky was a successful country singer based in Memphis who scored two huge cross-over pop hits “Gone” and “On the Wings of a Dove.” He met Elvis in 1955 when the young swivel-hipped singer was added to several packaged tours throughout Mississippi and the south.

Certainly, that is accomplished with this topic discussing a connection between Elvis and David Bowie. That can’t be possible, you say.

I have a few pictures in my Altered Elvis photoshop file, so now is a good time to share them with you.

Decades ago, the media bestowed the title "King of Pop" on Jackson. If the media had taken away Elvis' title as the "King of Rock and Roll" and given it to Michael Jackson, I would have been very upset.

I don’t think that matters a bit, his career is going to take off starting now, and he will be a huge star. What I like is that there have been some references to the fact that Adam Lambert looks a lot like Elvis, and affects certain Elvis-style mannerisms.

The most recent came from Uncut magazine, and it is so funny. I’ll share it with you, but first, let’s look at Elvis’ history with Tom Jones.

There isn’t a huge connection between Bo and Elvis, but there are a few goodies.

That was a good enough reason for me to Google Elvis and Waylon Jennings to see what connection there was between the two.

In the case of Johnny Rivers, it goes all the way back to early 1955, before Elvis was a big star, and before Johnny Rivers was Johnny Rivers. At that time, he was Brooklyn-born John Ramistella, a twelve-year-old growing up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. ELVIS and OTHER SINGERS (11)
