Erin Feinberg King for a Day
Elvis Presley's legacy transcends time. He embodies the American Dream, continuing to fascinate and influence new generations around the world with his music and persona. And 38 years after he "left the building" for the final time, his iconic sound and image live on through his fans. King for a Day is a photographic study of some of his most passionate fans – the tribute artists and impersonators who travel from around the world to visit Memphis, Tennessee, and pay homage to The King. These diehards come from all walks of life and they vary in age, shape, size, ethnicity, and religion. Accompanying the photographs are fascinating excerpts of interviews that reveal where these "Elvis" are from, how they first became hooked on Elvis, and what inspires them to go to such great lengths to pay tribute to him. King for a Day reminds us that there is a little bit of Elvis in each and every one of us. And these devotees choose to wear it on their sleeve!
