Amazing how much he sounds like Elvis speaking uncanny

Elvis

[@iamthelizardking6239]

Elvis had a magic charisma to him that made him seem special, larger than life. That’s one thing Elvis impersonators just don’t have, just can’t fake that magic.

I totally I agree with you ❤ Elvis had it all ❤ the others don't do him justice 😢 nobody can do Elvis ❤❤ the close to him is Austin Butler 💖💔💙🙏

I saw Johnny in Little Rock in 1978, about 5,000 people in attendance. Good show and the closest thing to Elvis some would ever see. But I saw Elvis twice and not even close.

[@JerryBen]

Johnny seemed so very nervous here. Was he afraid that somehow someone would reveal who he really was? The real E?!?

[@H8L920]

I think it is very possible.

[@kimberlymarie3651]

Maybe he was so nervous because it was his 1st time being on tv in front of a live audience since he passed away

He had a great Elvis voice but he looked so nervous on this video. He was even able to talk like Elvis too. In stayed in character with his interview. He was truly a great Elvis impersonator. Now days they call them Elvis Tribute Artists, probably because it’s much harder to really impersonate Elvis.

[@pattybachtel9152]

It Was Nice BUT THERES NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE ELVIS PLACE NEVER

[@kennethcurtis1856]

Not sure why they stay in character in interviews. That would be like me acting out as Festus.

[@H8L920]

Why was he so nervous?

[@Driessens_Peter]

i find it very very odd that theres no footage of Harra before 1978.

[@kennylovettshow]

There is. 1977, he played the Cotton Bowl.

[@elisetucker8079]

Not so strange as he wasn't well known until Elbis passed then people couldn't get enough of him

[@trissloan2340]

One of the world's finest Elvis impersonators! This blows my mind! Saw him on the 1991 special, The Elvis Files, hosted by Bill Bixby. That was shortly before my first US Army enlistment. I was a small boy, (late 1970's- early 80's) saw him perform at Joe Julian's club in Las Vegas. He rocked my world. I met him, it was as if I met Elvis! I was on Cloud Nine for a week! His backup group were the Hammon(Hammond Bros) and their sister, Little Annie. He brought me up out of the audience , put his arm around me and gave me a beautiful scarf that smelled like fine cologne. My father had been his attorney at one time.

Rick Saucedo has now been doing Elvis and his own music for 51 years. There may be some as good, but Saucedo had the whole package.

[@MysterySoul101]

I went to a Catholic grammar school with one of the members of the Ambassadors. Sometimes I would see Rick Saucedo in church on Sundays. He looked like the movie version of Elvis even in his teens.

[@garypotter4358]

Nice miming

[@sentinel3504]

It just feels strange. It’s like his identity is Elvis. He try’s to talk like Elvis with the little stutter and the every thing. The thing with these Elvis “tribute artists”is they are cashing in on the look, sound, and image that Elvis created. Elvis had the hit songs, made the movies , sold out concerts ect. These guys just replicate what’s already been done. I guess for the sake of entertainment I’m ok with it . I’m just get a real bad vibe when those fellas start doing the whole Elvis thing when they’re not singing or off stage. Some are very good today but you realize how much of a pale comparison most are when you watch a clip of an actual Elvis concert, listen to some Elvis studio outtakes or watch a clip from an Elvis movie.

Kenny, I assume you’re Johnny’s son, as his surname at birth was Lovett. (Please correct me if I’m mistaken.) Thanks for this channel. Your father was a great entertainer and Elvis would’ve been honored by his performances. God bless.

[@ryanstrown]

Johnny Harra lived behind me in KCKS before he became famous, he was a very nice person to be around. When I first met Johnny I thought he was Elvis lol. He was a better performer then this Video of him on this show. I am glad that I was one of the few that really got to know him and enjoyed being around him. RIP Johnny ❤️

Uncanny resemblance to Elvis, leading some to believe Johnny was related to Elvis. If Johnny had had plastic surgery to lessen the flare of his nostrils - as Elvis did in the mid-1950s - the resemblance would’ve been even greater.

Good look alike and a pretty good duplication of the voice, but this is NOT ELVIS. The best impersonator I have seen and heard though. However, even a replica is not the original. You cannot learn or manufacture a quality that cannot be defined. Elvis Aaron Presley was a phenomenon. He was authentic real and utterly unique, and he touched our souls like no other entertainer before him or since him. Maybe he truly was "A Prince from Another Planet"

He doesn't sound that much Elvis. One guy did sound like Elvis was Jimmy Ellis (Orion) most believed to be Elvis half brother. Vernon Presley's Son.
