Elvis tribute shines in Joe Peace concert review
Herald critic Lisa Fuqua recalls Joe Peace's Elvis tribute at Paramount Theater on November 12 and again Sunday. She notes fans from age 9 to 92, Peace's convincing performance in a white rhinestone suit, tassels and cape, renditions of Hound Dog Blue Suede Shoes and Jailhouse Rock, a strobe light karate moment in Trouble, and a tearful Can't Help Falling in Love final. Fuqua says Peace keeps The King's memory alive, not imitating but honoring Elvis.
