Elvis Presley may have died 32 years ago next Sunday, but his spirit was alive and well at Richmond Theatre this week as fans of the King were treated to an enchanting evening of nostalgia as One Night With Elvis played in front of a near sell-out audience.

Award-winning tribute artist Lee Memphis King did a commendable job of impersonating Memphis's favourite son, transforming himself into a lip snarling, pelvis thrusting showman, who strutted his stuff like a man possessed as the adoring audience lapped it up.

Indeed, fans of all ages were dancing in the aisles as King led them on a musical odyssey that encompassed Elvis's later years, beginning with a stylish set based around the singer's 1968 Comeback Special and then, after the interval, pulling out all the stops with a recreation of the 1970s Vegas years, complete with a stunning rhinestone jumpsuit.

King, a humble and charming performer, seemed to grow into the role the longer he was on stage, hitting his peak as he belted out hits synonymous with Elvis's later years, such as Suspicious Minds and The Wonder of You.

Perhaps most fitting of all, though, was the fact that King, his band members and backing singers were all, like the audience before them, having the time of their lives in this fitting tribute to rock 'n' roll's greatest icon.
