It was a true honor to have produced The Las Vegas Elvis Fest for several years but even more so to be able to bring those who lived and worked with Elvis like the late Joe Esposito, the late DJ Fontana, Jerry Schilling and so many others. To include the amazing Ed Enoch and the Stamps Quartet as well as Estelle Brown and the Sweet Inspirations, was truly magical to share that evening with those who actually performed on that very same stage with Elvis himself. When you combine that with the very talented Shawn Klush who has so much respect for Elvis and the powerful musicians from the fabulous Ambassadors band, it was absolutely an amazing experience and a lifelong dream come true for all involved.
THIS GUY IS UNBELIEVEABLE. HE SOUNDS AND LOOKS LIKE ELVIS. FROM THE SIDE FORGET ABOUT IT. YOU WOULD THINK IT IS ELVIS. BELIEVE ME I KNOW HES THE BEST EVER. IVE BEEN A FAN OF ELVIS SINCE I WAS 13 YRS OLD. I AM NOW ,,78. YRS.
It’s June of 2021. I just stumbled across this video. Never heard of this guy, but I am truly impressed. Watching this brought me back to my childhood in the 70’s. I was around 4 years old when I saw Elvis’ concert from Hawaii on TV. My mom and dad loved Elvis. I’m 51, now. My dad passed away 11 years ago and my mom is much smaller and her hair is gray, but for a few minutes, this performance brought me back to that time when we were still together, watching the King. Thank you for that. Truly. ❤️
Your comments are very touching and it is very true that when a musical performance is great, it can touch us in special ways bringing back one of a kind memories for all of us individually. For me this performance brings back the music, the magic and the memory or what I experienced when I saw Elvis perform live with 10 of my closest friends in Chicago. Only 5 are still alive but the memories of that night and all of them are with me because of Elvis.
This man Exudes Elvis He just naturally sounds similar and who he has become he's been doing Elvis for so long it’s been ingrained in him from a very young age. Shawn said since he was about 3yrs old I don't think he even knows how to be anyone else anymore he been in love with this music the whole Era everything to do with that time period He won’t be able to drop the persona He knows he's not Elvis but is very respectful of Elvis's memory. Elvis went way too soon so someones gotta carry it and keep it going Sean is that someone He really understands wat it was like for elvis all the long hrs the travel
@@deanhayek8302 Ben Portsmouth was great 10 years ago, but nowadays he a) looks way too old to portray the 50s Elvis at the beginning of his show, b) concentrates so hard on the mannerisms that he often forgets to sing or sings off mic, c) has lost a lot of his former natural charisma and started to look overly rehearsed, and d) has lost a lot of his former excellent pitch control, resulting in often singing off key nowadays. Even Shawn is by now better than him again, let alone countless others.
I was there when Elvis started on Sun Records and have been an Elvis fan for many years.. Shawn Klush is STILL the best performing tribjte artist around. So glad that this video was shared on youtube...
Shawn sounds just like Elvis & talks like him too. He’s quite the Entertainer & very few & rate can respect & perform like Elvis Presley. There’s another great performance by the one & only~ Ben Portsmouth❤️🥰
Wow! His performance was spot on. If I didn't know better, I swear I was watching Elvis in 1970 at the Hilton. Singing, talking and mannerisms scary close. Great job.
This was the greatest trip to Vegas with Shawn, my sister Barb, my daughter Deb (Rusty) as Shawn called her and me, the best week ever. Shawn you've always been special to us. Your London Ontario Canada friends. Cathy, Deb and Barb.
Shawn Klush you ARE Elvis in every way! You look just like him. You move just like him and most of all you SOUND exactly like him! I'm just amazed at your performances!! I had just turned 14 when it was announced that the King was dead. It was one of the worst days of my youth! I cried all day! It was almost as bad for me as losing a parent! Thank you SO MUCH for bringing King Elvis back to life. Please keep doing him as long as you can because NO one else in the whole world even comes close to you as the King!
@@riskyie2607 You make absolutely zero sense! I tell you what. Why don't you go back to school and LEARN ENGLISH before you try to spout off about Elvis not being dead!! (If that's what you were trying to say) Because 1) if you think he isn't dead, you're much too stupid to be walking around in normal every day society and are definitely in need of psychiatric help, and 2) let's see your "proof" that he's alive! Hey, maybe he and Prince are roommates somewhere, and are living right across the street from JFK and the 7 space shuttle Challenger astronauts!! Grow a brain 🧠 moron!!!
@@riskyie2607 You sound like a 4 yr old trying to talk like an adult! Go learn the english language if you want to talk amongst the adults little child.
Shawn is so handsome! So much He resembles Elvis! His blue eyes are so unique like The King of the Rock Elvis Presley! God bless you Shawn and your family! Hope you have children and inherited your talent!
My God you sure that isn't Elvis? Love bridge over troubled water.. we played this at Mt fiancee funeral and it will be played at mine.. it sends a chiver down my spine.
That's why Shawn klush is still a king and people using him for tonight and people love see him performance at Elvis funeral for years now and he still live in Graceland and buy 1965 jumpsuit and it's for him show or the world probably king himself bring the power is about.
Shawn has the BEST voice for ELVIS ETA!! and he is a funny guy saw him in Memphis at Graceland.. along with Taylor Cody Ray and Dean Z.. I enjoy you Sir
@@janicegraham4808 What???? Ral Donner was firstly younger than Elvis, copied Elvis and was also Elvis-Fan. Donners voice was similar to the voice of the king, but exactly not complete on Elvis level. And thirdly: if you really think, Donner was better than Elvis, what are you doing here? Shawn is a Elvis-Tribute-Artist. So, enjoy it or leave!
Pretty darn good, Elvis had something very special, it took a lot for Shawn to pull it off, appreciate all the effort to bring Elvis back in the room...this best of Shawn right there, I've seen other videos not as much ...that back up is splendid...Thats a Party Hardy 😀
Mr. Klush i am legally blind but i just had to tell you while waking up this morning you were singing with the stamps quartet HOW GREAT THO ART oh how the chill bumps came!!! That is by far the best song i have ever heard you sing. I was truly touched! Elvis would be so proud!!!!!!!

Klush is very, very good-. .I’ve heard is normal speaking voice in interviews but his Elvis voice down to inflections, southern slang and emphasis on syllables & vowels is impressive, really noteworthy. ...an awesome vocalist who has fine control over his drops and octaves. .👏
Wow.. that must have surreal for the Sweet Inspirations and the Stamps Quartet to be performing on that stage that night, with Shawn Klush. The first time in 38 years for the Stamps Quartet, 1976, the last time they performed with Elvis, himself. Even two of the "Memphis Mafia" was there, Jerry Schilling and Joe Esposito, Elvis's right hand Man. Shawn would never have had this kind of clout, had he not become "the" premier Elvis Tribute Artist.
That is true but I have some theories about him had have feeling about it too such as a far this it's too scary to me look like him and got goosebumps for this and Elvis Presley is something behind it all words came first time he did himself as character like a clone.
Shawn gave me my first scarf in Mount Dora 2022 going back September 2023 Excited looking forward to seeing him and all the ETA band performers. God bless you Shawn much love to you and all. 🥰💕🤗🙏🏻👏
He is the best Elvis Impersonator and looks more like Elvis than any I have seen. He has Elvis moves down better than any one I have ever seen and sounds the closest to Elvis.I still say there was and always was only one Elvis and he is no l onger with us. Shawn does bring back Elvis's sound and style and I thank thank for that. Thank you Shawn keep on doing What you are doing. Nanny Debbie

he talks, laughs like him and owns some personal things of elvis, he's sung with the sweet inspirations and original members of the bands, got to see inside elvis's upstairs part at graceland
Great Show, I've seen Shawn live twice but you can tell he was extra up for this one on the stage Elvis performed on with several of the people who performed with Elvis as well. He really is the closest I've seen to Elvis. Shawn, Bill Cherry and Cody Slaughter for the early years.

In an era when we have zillions of Elvis impersonators some good some crappy, it is nice to see Mr Klush capture the King's mannerisms, twitches, hand gestures body language, charm, charisma, and voice up to 99% of the original. In my humble estimation, Shawn Klush captures the essence of Mr Aron Presley for the whole show to a T, staying in character without letting it go, a fantastic entertainer in his own right, there's only one Shawn Klush, ladies and gentlemen.
I will be there at work tomorrow and will be there by I am not able and willing I will have a lot to do and then I have a lot going to be able and then I have a lot going to be able and willing and I will be at work tomorrow morning so I have a lot to do it at your work on this and get back with you on the other I have is the only one that has to be at work by I am not going on the market and I will

I was born as a millennial but i have an interest about Elvis he is my idol so charismatic guy i always watching Elvis on youtube. This man Nailed it as an Elvis impersonator. I hope the Hollywood make him a movie. Just like the movie of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by The Queen 2018 movie.

Shawn needs to do a DNA to see if he is Elvis Presley's son. He resembles so much Elvis! He sounds like him, he sings like him(pretty close)! They have the same height. Everybody is unique in his voice and appearances even amongs relatives! When you see Shawn is like you see Elvis! God bless you!
Mr.Klus is doing a fantastic job in trying to get the details of how Elvis Presley was. He is just like Elvis. The only person who can do better than Mr. Klus is a person who is gonna look exactly like Elvis but that won't happen soon. Usually every 100 yrs a person somewhere in the world be born exactly looking like Elvis or you for that matter. You see we all have double look exactly the same in Heaven who will be born in sometime in the future

You are quite talented Shawn. Your inflections, movement, voice are so naturally done as Elvis. Even the laugh and what you say such as Hang loose, I’ll get you later. All the things he did. The little whistle etc. it’s fun to see and makes me smile if I think Elvis is looking down and shaking his head in disbelief. When people visit Graceland you should get up from the piano and just walk away. People would freak out. 😂😂😂 No one would admit they saw you. 😳😳❤️❤️❤️
Wow great show what an honor it must be to perform with the sweet inspirations beautiful ladies still rockin it and the stamps wow even tho think only one original member just qreat show!
Im legally blind n im not able to see Shawn but he is an awesome tribute of THE ONE AND ONLY ELVIS PRESLEY!!!! Oh how i love n miss him 💔. I do thank Shawn for doing such a great job paying tribute to Elvis. I had already lost my sight when Shawn was named the ultimate tribute artist of 2007. I fell n love with this man for what he represents and that is ELVIS PRESLEY no one will ever take his place but shawn has been paying tribute for 10 yrs now keeping his memory alive and he pours his heart and soul out every time he goes on stage n you just got to love a man who will do that. I would love to see him but i never know when he will be close enough to make a trip. Does anyone know when he will be back at Graceland in Memphis or somewhere nearby i live close to nashville?
SHAWN, I AM SO GLADE YOU WON. YOU ACT LIKE ELVIS, YOU SOUND LIKE ELVIS, YOU HAVE THE MOVES TO THE T. I AM A FAN. YOU ARE THE BEST. YOU ARE MAKING ELVIS PRESLEY PROUD. LOOKING DOWN FROM HEAVEN 💥🙏.I WONDER WHAT ELVIS DAUGHTER LISA THOUGHT OF YOU. YOU COULD BE ELVIS'S TWIN. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉. ON YOUR WIN. AND ALL OF YOUR PERFORMANCES TO COME. YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
