| On July 31,1969,Elvis Presley walked out on the stage of the Las Vegas Hilton International Hotel for the first time in nine years and sang to an audience of fans and celebrities from all over the world. Accompanying him on that momentous evening was a 40 piece orchestra, conducted by Joe Guercio,the Sweet Inspirations, the TCB Band, and the Imperials.
For the next three years, the Imperials backed Elvis in Las Vegas and on road tours. They also recorded such hits as "Suspicious Minds" and "In the Ghetto". They can also be seen in Elvis's hit movie "That's The Way It Is". Their history with Elvis is well documented and available to all interested Elvis fans. Many of his fans of years gone by and a new generation of Elvis Presley fans who never saw him are fascinated by this extraordinary man who made history.
The members of the Imperials who were there in 1969 and throughout succeeding years, now have re-formed and are busy doing concerts and appearances all over the world to Elvis fans who want to "meet someone who knew Elvis". |
