So until then, here's what it said:
Q: Ever since Elvis died, I have wondered who inspired his
shake, rattle 'n' roll moves.-Felix B., Miami, FL.
A: "As a young man, he idolized a gospel group called The
Statesmen," says Joe Moscheo, Elvis' backup singer &
lifelong friend. "He was inspired by their bass singer, 'Big
Chief' Wetherington, who was famous for his leg twitching." Moscheo's book "The Gospel Side Of Elvis" is
due out 8/13-3 days before the 30th anniversary of the
King's death.
