The problem with that is that he died about 10 years ago in a robbery. :'(

I have made a tribute to elvis and orion a week ago.

Thanks for the link Smasher... the song is beautiful.... I guess it is April fools day and I feel like one--- I have heard the name Jimmy Ellis but had never saw him before I looked at the video you posted. His voice is really beautiful... thanks for posting. Dovey :blush:

Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you liked him sing. There are some more videos out there in youtube. just search and find. Thanks

This is the first i've heard him sing, i'd always heard that he sounded uncanningly like Elvis but i just don't hear it myself. True he does sound somewhat like the king but it's very easy to tell the difference.

I read on his web site that he changed his name to get away from the Elvis connection but if he didn't want to be associated with Elvis then why sing so many of his songs?

I think he did it because the audience wanted him to sing the songs.

This song sounds great !! I've never heard this one.

I have a record of Ellis....but, it didn't sound like Elvis to me.

i think the good thing about Orion is that he sang alot of songs that Elvis would have been great at, had he recorded them.
Secondly, most Elvis impersonators are not even good singers , at least this guy could sing.

Very nice voice and the song was great. Thanks for posting Smasher. Diane

I like the first song..he's one of my favorite impersonators..too bad he had to die the way he did.

Thanks for the link , that was really nice.
