There are three things I recall with absolute certainty: the day President Kennedy was shot (I was in 7th grade science class), September 11, 2001 ( I was working in Bob Ballack’s office), and the day Elvis died. On that day I was in my apartment in Parsippany listening to the radio and the announcer delivered the incredible news which brought tears to my eyes. Immediately after, the radio station played “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” As John Lennon famously stated many years later, “Before Elvis, there was nothing.” And so to this day, all things about Elvis remain a fascination for so many people and his music lives on through talented tribute artists like Michael Marchitto.

I love having the opportunity to speak with a guy like Mike who sort of channels Elvis when he performs. If you get the opportunity to see Mike perform, do it! He’s really got the look, the moves, and naturally the voice. He even does a great speaking impression of Elvis. Obviously he’s a man who loves what he’s doing. Special thanks to Mike’s mom, who was a huge Elvis fan, and played his music around the house for her young son to enjoy as well. Who knew this would be the outcome?! To find out more about Mike or to contact him, check his web site at www.jerseyshoreelvis.com. So the next time you get on a plane to Vegas or wander through Memphis and Graceland, be on the lookout for Mike Marchitto. Remember, he and Elvis travel together and you never where they’re going next.
