Hi Helen,

I liked Andy Kaufman's act very much too.

I'm surprised you're surprised :), there have always been many Jewish entertainers and some of them were magnificent. There are many that people will be surprised to discover that they're Jewish.

Shalom,

Peter

Hello again, Peter et al

I still like Andy Kaufman`s act best. He was Jewish, too, did you know? There are a quite a few Jews in the entertainment industry which I find surprising. Don`t ask me why. I just thought they would be more into business and such. Of course, they make entertainment into a business often which makes sense to me.

Hello Peter

He does sound like Elvis.

Apparently, according to the write-up, you get to see the moves when you ``buy`` him for events. :))

Hello Evelyn & Friends,

In one of the articles about Elvis' Jewish roots in my previous post they mention a Jewish Elvis impersonator called Elvis Shmelvis. From what I understood he's one of the top Elvis impersonators in the UK and also an orthodox Jew. An interesting combination. :)

Here's a video with Elvis Shmelvis and while I don't think he lives up to the original's "moves" his voice is quite good and very much like the king himself.

Shalom,

Peter

Elvis Shmelvis is arguably the top Elvis Tribute Artist in the UK. Having performed on thousands of occasions at venues throughout the UK, he is highly sought after by many top organisations and companies for corporate entertainment.

Elvis Shmelvis is not just another 'Elvis impersonator'. He is an accomplished guitarist and foremost, a true professional entertainer. He does not just stand there and sing, he likes to move among his audience, making it an interactive show and an unforgettable event.

Often accused of miming because his voice is so true to the original, Elvis Shmelvis is a perfectionist in his act, even having his suits imported from the USA, made by the same people who made Elvis'.

So professional in his act, he has made numerous television and radio appearances, including BBC 1, 2 & 3, ITV, Sky, CNN, Channel 4 to name but a few. He has been featured on programmes such as Blue Peter, The Weakest Link, The Kilroy Show, Celebdaq, CITV, virtually every news channel, Test The Nation as well as having a part in a BBC1 drama.

Elvis Shmelvis has performed in front of 30 - 100,000 people at music festivals, including the Bristol Balloon Fiesta, Milton Keynes Bowl and 'Jammin' In The Park' Reading, sharing a stage with Ronan Keating, Sugababes, Atomic Kitten, Blue among others. He has also worked
recently with Frank Bruno, Chris Tarrant, Eastenders, Claire Sweeney, Steve Wright on Radio 2, Tony Blackburn and Chico and many many more.

Elvis Shmelvis has performed his own show in London's West End, was the closing act at the London Arena, and has been entertaining pre-match and halftime crowds at Arsenal FC, Watford FC and Luton Town FC. In early 2005, Elvis Shmelvis was chosen to be presented with an award by the Coca Cola Charts to mark the 1000th Number 1 in the UK pop music charts. In addition
to this he has won a place in the Guiness Book of World Records and was also featured on CNN world news as making the largest physical bet in betting history!

Elvis Shmelvis is available for a variety of functions, including;
'Cabaret - After Dinner Entertainment'
Weddings
Trade Shows
Elvis 0 Grams
Corporate Events - Elvis Shmelvis usually starts with a few Elvis favourites, then telling a few jokes, before getting an agreed member of the audience, or even the CEO to dress up in a jump suit and help him sing a few hits.

When you book Elvis Shmelvis, you will get the whole package; the moves, the looks, the suits and the voice (ah - what a voice!)

Helen, actually I liked Ben Portsmouth better. Just a matter of personal taste I guess. :)

Hi Evelyn

It is always enjoyable to watch an Elvis impersonator even if he isn`t the greatest ...like this Ben guy. I don`t see, however, how this guy is so great as they say he is. He`s just ok as far as I am concerned. I liked the Schmelvis and Andy Kaufman better, didn`t you.

I wanted to share this video with all you Elvis fans, that my friend Pat, back in Tennessee sent me in an email. I know of no other artist that has been immitated more than Elvis and his spirit really does live on after all this time. Hope you enjoy this video.

Helen again I have to agree with you about not paying any attention to anyone's race, gender and etc. I, too, either like it or I don't. My least favorite music is rap and to me it should not even be called music.

Finding out someone is Jewish doesn't surprise me as there are so many in all different walks of life who are high achievers.

Quote:

Hi Peter

I don`t really pay much attention to from what race they come. I either like their talent or I don`t. For example, I detest the sound of contemporary music. Christian music is almost all contemporary music now and I detest it. Another music I hate is heavy metal and I don`t care who does it.

I was surprised that Andy was Jewish. I never knew that until I looked him up at Wikipedia the other day. It would have made no difference to me anyway.
