See pictures from the Elvis Presley history!
Norway’s most famous Elvis impersonator, Kjell Elvis is releasing a new CD. He even hopes to sell some of them. It wouldn’t hurt then, to have your name in the Guinness Book of World Records. And now it`s done!
Proud
Kjell Elvis put together a four-hour, 100-song set which he performed over and over again for 26 hours, 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
- I`m very proud and i wish to thank all the people who helped me during the attempt, he says to nrk.no/musikk.
Elvis lives in Norway
Kjell Elvis made it big in 1997 when a TV documentary of his life as an Elvis impersonator was shown on norwegian television. This record-long concert marked his 15th year as an artist. In addition, Kjell hopes that this public relations stunt helps him to sell a few extra CDs.
“Signed copies of the CD can be pre-ordered already now at elvis.no.” he adds eagerly.
Financial Debacle
Two years ago, in Stockholm, Sweden, Kjell Elvis was named Norden’s (Norway – Sweden – Finland) best Elvis impersonator. In that same year Kjell tried in vain to establish an Elvis Festival in Kristiansand, Norway. This failed attempt cost him nearly one million Norwegian crowns, or about USD 135,000. And now Kjell will be the first to admit that he back again looking for more attention.

“That’s absolutely correct.” confirms Kjell
A British Elvis impersonator, Gary Jay, had the last record for a non-stop Elvis-impersonator performance. Jay managed to perform for 25 hours, 33 minutes and 30 seconds. Kjell Elvis intended to shatter Jay’s record by over four hours. He didn`t make that, but maby he gave his Bitish rival something to think about..
