"I was watching Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special on VH1 in 1997, and I
was inspired by his performance... I had already been singing since
I was little, but after seeing him, I decided that is what I want to
be for all of my life, a singer."
Now, Joel has over 200 Elvis songs in his Elvis repertoire, and has
perfected his tribute to the King, right down to the moves, the
spiel between songs, and the facial expressions. He wears jumpsuits
fit for a King, made by B&K Enterprises of Indiana.
"When I sing an Elvis song, I sing it like how he would have sang it
at that time. So if I am singing "Don't Be Cruel" I will sound like
Elvis did in 1956, if I am singing "Moody Blue" I will sound like
how Elvis sang it in 1976...I have studied his voice"
