I first saw
Leigh Casling in January 2005.
He was one of
over 30 Elvis tribute artists performing at the Blackpool Walk a Golden
Mile in My Shoes contest.
I believe that
most Elvis tribute artist are a special breed. They do what they do because
they love and respect Elvis and want to keep his memory alive. Most are very
passionate about what they do, taking great care with costumes, moves and of
course the voice.
Leigh chose to
appear as “Army” Elvis, singing Trouble from King Creole. and Didja
Ever from GI Blues.
Now, Trouble is one of my least favourite Elvis songs, as I hate to hear him (or anyone
else for that matter) proclaiming, ”I’m evil”. But my prejudice gave way
to amazement and delight, as Leigh, for several minutes, was (almost) Elvis. His voice is a natural, but also the stance and facial expressions are
not forced, but natural. I believe that Leigh captures the simplicity and love
of life which Elvis had when he was young. There is a freshness and joy for
life associated with young Elvis, which Leigh portrays magnificently.
I hope and
pray that many people will choose Leigh for their birthday parties, socials,
concerts etc. They are in for a treat!
