Manage episode 411235426 series 2793651
🎙️ In this episode of Deluxe Edition with Casey & Ray, we're all shook up with the one and only TV's Elvis Pete Willcox!
For over 30 years, Pete Willcox starred on stages around the world as the worlds premier Elvis Presley tribute act. For over two decades he reigned as America’s TV Elvis for his appearances on dozens of major network television shows.
Since then, in a natural transition, Pete developed his current act using his ability for vocal mimicry to recreate the voices and personalities of over a hundred major stars, highlighting his singing impressions.
Pete performed his Elvis tribute act on the stages of Caesar’s Palace, The Hilton, Sahara . . . from Las Vegas to London and Paris.
He is the voice of Elvis on Happy Days. When Fonzie hits the jukebox and Elvis sings, it’s Pete’s voice. It even fooled Elvis, who asked, “Am I gettin’ paid for that?” His appearance on the 80’s disco hit “Jive Bunny” helped it sell over 8,000,000 copies worldwide. He is the longest running Elvis tribute in the industry.
Among the many TV show Pete appeared on were: Cheers, Alf, Designing Women, Full House, LA Law, E.R, Murphy Brown, Renegade, Hogan Family, Charles In Charge, and Touched By An Angel.
The stars Pete pays tribute to in his stage act include: Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Christopher Walken, Clint Eastwood, and Jack Nicholson. Some of his singing stars are “The Rat Pack” . . . Frank, Dean, & Sammy, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Michael McDonald, Neil Diamond, and Bruce Springsteen.
