News, Source; Elvis. Info. Net)"Elvis" Saves U2 Concert: A technical failure turned into an "Elvis" opportunity at the U2 show last week. When a piano failed on stage, Bono was forced into some impromptu banter with the crowd. Thinking quickly, he spied an Elvis impersonator in the crowd and invited him on stage. What’s Elvis doing in the crowd?” Bono asked “Dude, I have everything by you. Everything.” Bono pretends to be awed by the presence of a celebrity, bowing down in front of the impersonator.

This is unbelievable,” he said, “I always wanted to meet you, dude. Love your early work.”The Edge tries to cut in with a new song, but Bono signals for him to hold off and asks the impersonator to sing the Elvis classic “Can’t Help Falling In Love,” which he does to rapturous applause. In the past Bono has noted, "Elvis Presley is like the 'Big Bang' of Rock 'n' Roll. It all came from there and what you had in Elvis Presley is a very interesting moment because you had two cultures colliding there.

You had a kind of white, European culture and an African culture coming together - the rhythm of black music and the melody chord progressions of white music. That was the moment. Out of all that came the Beatles and the Stones, but you can't underestimate what happened. It does get back to Elvis."U2′ will finish up their American tour on July 3. Madison Square Garden. Perhaps Elvis will also be there!

Orion: The Man Who Would Be King' Review: The UK Guardian newspaper has reviewed the new movie 'Orion: The Man Who Would Be King' "the reluctant Elvis- alike turned pretender to the King's throne" The newspaper awarded it 2 / 5 stars. The review includes, "Jeanie Finlay’s ode to Jimmy Ellis, who looked like Elvis, sounded like Elvis and didn’t want to be like Elvis until after Presley’s death, tries to make a country and western classic out of a one- hit wonder.

Orion was not trying to be just like Elvis. He even released a single called I’m Not Trying to Be Just Like Elvis.

The problem, inasmuch as it is a problem, is that Jimmy Ellis, an Alabama- born singer, really sounded a lot like Elvis. The likeness was to the point that this natural talent, who was 1.

King, was unable to secure any significant work in the recording industry. But in 1. 97. 7, when Elvis Presley died and a wave of Elvis- nostalgia hit, a business opportunity knocked. Sun Records had been purchased by one Shelby Singleton. Let’s be generous and call him "an entrepreneurial sort". Singleton re- released some earlier Sun tracks with Jimmy Ellis dubbed in, sounding just like Elvis, and labelled it Jerry Lee Lewis "and friends".

Just as these were hitting big, the first tabloid rumblings about Elvis faking his death were starting to bubble up. A woman named Gail Brewer- Giorgio was readying a novel about an Elvis- like figure who did just that. The book was called Orion and, while who specifically dreamed up what is still up for debate, Ellis soon found himself on the cover of an album called Orion: Reborn. He sounded just like the King and wore a face- obscuring mask. Was this actually Elvis under a new persona? Of course, behind the mask, Ellis slowly became miserable. He wanted to be himself, neither an Elvis impersonator nor a Kiss- like gimmick act.

His fame, while significant for a time, was fleeting. This documentary chronicles it all and, unfortunately, even at a mere 8. Ellis died in 1. 99. Yet director Jeanie Finlay seems driven to find some way in which this tragic ending has some connection to his life. The same goes with Ellis’s early years as an adopted child.

There’s even some conspiracy business suggesting that he may have been a secret, out- of- wedlock half- brother to Elvis Presley – an embarrassing "cake- and- eat- it- too" conceit, given the accusations of hucksterism thrown Shelby Singleton’s way.). At the end of the day, Finlay’s tearful Ballad of Orion ain’t much. This was a guy who wanted a big music career. He had a few great years performing to thousands of adoring fans. OK, so he had to wear a stupid mask. Is it such a tragedy?

As heartbreak hotels go, seems like one with a nice mint on the pillow. Go HERE for full Guardian review.(News, Source/Elvis. Info.
