WORLDS FIRST ELVIS TRIBUTE ARTIST. JOHNNY HARRA
March 29th 2008 03:36
Johnny started impersonating Elvis in his teens, and from then on has basically started the trend, or opened the doors to many Elvis Tribute Artists (ETA’s). He also started doing Elvis tribute long before Elvis has passed away.
I look at pictures of Johnny and you could swear that Elvis and Johnny look so much alike, that you would think that they could actually be twins, the similarity is just amazing. Some people say that it could be a mirrored image – Elvis looking into a mirror. This is also based on the fact that, many fans have also stated, that Johnny is the closest in resemblance to Elvis. His lips, his eyes, his facial features just to name a few. Everything about Johnny is remarkably close to that of Elvis.
In 1981, Johnny was asked to do a documentary portraying the king in a film called ‘THIS IS ELVIS’. Johnny played Elvis in later years just before his death. May I also state that Johnny did a wonderful job in portraying Elvis in his role, which must have been quite difficult to do? Johnnie’s voice gives out such a natural to that of Elvis, which fans find quite amazing to listen to.
Just a little while after Elvis’ death, Johnny toured all over the world, which must have been such a buzz to be able to travel, but in Dallas Texas, the record for an audience attendance is 20.000 people. Which is a huge amount of fans to pack an Arena. To this day, l think that he could probably have as many fans should he decide to do another concert tour..
Johnny once went to an Elvis concert in Denver Colorado and the fans mistakenly thought that he was Elvis, and off course in natural ‘Elvis fan behaviour’ the man was practically torn, ripped and everything else that fans usually do to anyone that they love. So from then on, Johnny had to hire some personal bodyguards to protect him, from the madness of such fans..
So once again, l would like to say, a big thank you to Mr Johnny Harra, for keeping the memory of Elvis alive, and for being such a fantastic ETA..
‘Keep up the good work’ l always say!
