When Elvis Presley Released His First Album: The Rise of Female Elvis Impersonators Elvis Presley's iconic status has transcended generations since he released his first album 55 years ago. Initially, men aspired to emulate the King of Rock 'n' Roll, while women dreamed of a romance with him. Fast forward to today, and the dynamic has shifted—women not only idolize Elvis but also seek to embody his legendary presence themselves. Among the multitude of Elvis tribute artists (ETAs) around the world, three female performers have gained notable recognition: Jacqueline Feilich from Australia, Laura Baxter Herbert from Massachusetts, and Helen Anne Gately from Seattle. These talented women are not just passionate fans; they are dedicated tribute artists who pay homage to Elvis by donning extravagant, bedazzled jumpsuits reminiscent of his own flamboyant stage attire.
