The title is a bit of an overstatement isn't it?
How do you know or how can you even assume I and others don't already know these things?

I made this video of Elvis Impersonators at the closing of the "Elvisly Yours" Memorabilia shop in Baker Street on 1st April 2010.

The shops closed but it's still on line...

This thread has caused me look at the bio of Tom Parker.

He was an illegal immigrant to USA and couldn't risk applying for a passport for tours outside USA. So that is why Elvis only performed one such tour - in Canada - at a time when passports weren't needed for the visit.
