“When people see me, they say ‘there goes Elvis,’ ” said Ron Moore, who admits the resemblance, while uncanny, is not wholly exact. “I resemble him. I’m not 6 feet tall and as gorgeous as he is, but people look at me and says it’s unmistakable.”
Moore, an Elvis tribute artist, will perform at the Chattanooga Choo Choo tonight with the Jordanaires, who sang backup for Presley himself and have been performing together since 1948, though members have rotated. Two of the Jordanaires, Ray Walker and Gordon Stoker, have been a part of the group since the early ’50s.
The event is being filmed as part of the documentary, “The Church of Elvis,” which parallels the spiritual life of the star with the life of Moore, said to be the foremost Elvis tribute artist around.
