  • Johnny Harra will be missed! From my understanding the Family needs help with the burial expenses. Johnny, at one time was a millionaire singing in Vegas. The worlds largest terrorist network, The I.R.S. hit him hard. Back in the 70's and 80's I would have rather owed money to the Mob VS. the I.R.S. Let's get a website together to help one of our own!

  • always loved Johnny's performances. He will be missed.  Someone asked why his face was not shown in THIS IS ELVIS. Director and estate did not want people to think Elvis Death was faked. Yes. He looked that much like him then. It was spooky sometimes.

  • I spoke with Johnny by phone in December. He was happy, in a great mood. He sung a verse of "Darling Save The Last Dance For Me" .. I told him it was beautiful and it was.

  • Rest In Peace Johnny Harra you will be missed. Johnny passed away today March 30,2011 here in Dallas.

  • here the best elvis imitator i ever saw......with real voice......not like the others they want sound like elvis......./watch?v=pn2W7ntTW­5Y

  • IT TAKES MORE THAN A VOICE AND LOOKS TO BE A SPECIAL PERSON LIKE ELVIS WAS.AND JOHNNY HAS THE WHOLE PACKAGE.THOSE OF YOU THAT TALK BAD LET ME ASK YOU WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.BESIDES SET AROUND AND TALK BAD ABOUT PEOPLE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW.OF COURSE YOUR THE SAME PEOPLE THAT GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY PUT ON YOUR HAPPY FACE AND KISS ASS THEN LEAVE AND TALK BAD ABOUT PEOPLE..ONE THING I CAN SAY FOR JOHNNY THAT NO ONE WILL SAY ABOUT YOU..HE IS TRUE TO WHO HE IS.NOT A FAKE SINGS FROM THE HEART.

  • johnny is and will always be the best eta there ever was or will be.anyone can be an eta but it takes someone special to be the kind of person elvis was..johnny is that special person..im also an eta but dont sing or look like elvis i try to live my life helping the next person and care for people like elvis did..johnny harra is a wonderful person and for some of you to make comments like you have is just wrong..just shows what kind of up bringing you had..

  • Anyone who wants to shoot an Elvis video should join Making Music magazine's contest at

  • melkiemelkie you are a @#%^#^# idiot and don't know what you are talking about. How can you say this man thinks he is Elvis when you don't know him. After doing something for so long, Im talking YEARS not a month or two, or someone who decided one day he wanted to sing Elvis karaoke, it becomes a part of you.

  • He looks like Elvis 10 days after death

  • Grotesque.

  • hes elvis

  • Cool, man, cool. He looks like Elvis in the face and has his voice. Amazing.

  • Elvis-impersonators impersonate Elvis-impersonators.

  • hes so fat, like the typicle elvis stereotype... the problem is that elvis never was this fat.. he sounds a bit like him when he speaks though!

  • melkiemelkie, You make yourself sound like a complete idiot, Elvis 'WAS' fat near the end of his days, so the match between these two is alot closer than you think it is.

  • God he looks like Elvis Sounds like Elvis.

  • R.I.P.

  • look at , benny som elvis

  • Well guys and girls i know Mr.Harra alot longer than most of you,i was around him for 14 yrs.and he was the greatest Elvis Impersonator ever and i have seen a few more in my time but nothing like Johnny Harra.There are a few close enough but not many and the only other one would be Johnny Lovett he was another one that was great.But elvis is still the king and always will be.

  • f*** me this is elvis isn't it lol! his voice is the exact replica of the kings no mistaking.

  • Look away and listen. It sounds much like Elvis.

  • I watched Johnny perform in Las Vegas long ago. I also had an opportunity to talk with him on a movie set where I was working in Burbank and he was asking some questions about the business. He was nice, sincere and he just happens to sound and look like Elvis all the time. He makes no conscious effort to be Elvis other than onstage, but offstage he is the same as far as his vocal sound. He just sounds and looks like Elvis.

  • No he PLAYS Elvis. He really thinks he IS Elvis. And he is ugly and way too fat.

  • Oh my god, he really thinks he ís Elvis...pffff

  • Bill Bixby knew Elvis personolly they were good friends

  • Harra was good 30 years ago but during that time there was another guy who sounded good too. His name was Dale Culbertson. He's the guy in those pictures you see that claim the name Larry Blong.

  • I''ve seen several E.T.A some better and some worse, but as they go harra's show is fairly decent. OK so he doesn't look as good as he did 25 years ago. so what? who does?

    Do you.

    And as for silly silky, Elvis Aron Presley

    is how his name is spelled on his b.c. Please point out the second A in his name. You must not be as big a fan of Elvis as you think. Most of the E.T.A's I have met do it because they are truly ELVIS FANS.

    If you don't like E.T.A's go to a different show, DUH !!

  • I saw Harra in a concert about the time of This Is Elvis. I'm sure he is a 'nice guy' and all, but truthfully, his singing voice was flat as a board. Listen to "Save the last Dance..." on youtube- he is so out of breath he can't start or complete a phrase on time.

    I have seen them all- Klush,Churc,Pelton,Wilcox-you name it- but for overall Elvisness, I'll take a Rick Saucedo show any day of the week. He sounds great, knows how to work a crowd, and yes, he was doin' it when Elvis was alive.

  • Rick Saucedo rocks. So does Jesse Aron!

  • I've heard some very nasty rumors about this man. One of them being that at the age of 40 he married an 18 year old?

  • who cares 18's legal right?

  • The closest voice to Elvis has Mr.Jon Burrows!!!!!,no one on earth could sing like this guy Elvis songs. You don't have to believe me,just search: jonburrowsTN it's here on youtube and it's amazing. He is the best ,might be Elvis himslef,no one knows who he is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Good ETA or Bad Eta? It doesn't matter they are doin a Tribute to the man who changed the world. You can not put Johnny in the same category as the other ETA'sjohnny has been doing his tribute way way before Elvis died. When Johnny was younger he was right on with his Elvis act now that he is older and not fit He could be right on with his Elvis act if Elvis was still alive today. We don't know what Elvis wouldve look like today if he was still alive. And Johnny doesn't think that he is Elvis.

  • This is a fat slob, but elvis even chubby looked fabulas and his face lit up soles this guy just looks like a fatty

  • just imagine if elvis is alive till today and some inpersonnator died wow that would be ironic

  • Besides, Elvis name is with 2 A's not 2 R's, and the same goes, there are 2 A's in many names. Elvis is gone, accept it. Go watch an Elvis movie, listen to his songs, or read his bio and enjoy what he gave us while he was here.

  • HAHAHAHAHA There are 2 r's in Harris, Herring, Harrah, Harrington, too many names with 2 r's to list. Get a brain! lol

    Elvis is gone, accept it.

  • I remember the Denver incident. I was living in Denver at the time and Elvis was in town for a concert. The Denver post had a front page headline that read, "Elvis Of Course!" They had to make a retraction the next day. I used to go see Johnny at Saturdays and made an Elvis portrait cake for him. It was a fun time. Actually more fun than the real Elvis concert, simply because I had much better seats at the club, usually the first row.

  • why are there 2 R's in harra name like at gaceland,, arron Elvis middle name

  • On Elvis's grave it is spelled, AARON! Not ARRON! Don't try and start something! LOL

  • Who ever thinks Elvis is still alive needs their brains checked. Elvis died August 16, 1977 for real.

    Johnny Harra is NOT Elvis, NOT EVEN CLOSE!! Stop assuming Johnny Harra or any other ETA's are Elvis. They are just Elvis Tribute Artist's, nothing more and nothing less. Instead of looking for Elvis in tribute artists, enjoy what the real Elvis gave us while he was here.

  • I was amaized when i saw some great pictures of Johnny!

    Never saw anything like it!

  • ELVIS SAYS THANKS!

  • Johnny is a really nice man, i met him several times when he lived here in Texas. I didnt see it mentioned in these threads but Johnny was a dead on one of a kind back in the 80's, this footage doesnt show the better days of his. If anyone remebrs the movie about Elvis's life, its johnny who is playing Elvis at the begining,(elvis in his workout sweats walking up the stairs)

  • If Johnny Harra is such a dead ringer for Elvis, then why didn't they show his face in the movie "This Is Elvis"??

  • They did.

  • Johnny's Manager, "Major Bill" Smith tried

    pushing this "Elvis Is Alive" Crap. Bill Bixby

    later had another show debunking this first

    show. Good God is there anybody who remembers

    how Elvis sounded in person? Would give a run to

    all the "ETA's" popping up years after Elvis' Death!

  • johnny harra is just about the best as far as mannerisms. his voice is great and on top of all that, he is a really great guy with a very nice personality.

    doug church is overrated and wears too much grey eye shadow!! he looks like a painted up clown up close

  • I don't think shawn klush is thaat good, I see him overrated acually.

    Martin fontaine is looking like elvis 99% from 50-60's but the singing is not close to elvis voice.

    Rio elvis is the best singer of elvis in 70's you be amazed to hear him sing! sometiems the lyrics gets wrong. he doesn't look like elvis though.

    Doug church has a good voice but singing could get better, he don't look that much like elvis.

  • smasher1987 : I'm agree with you & thanks if you posting the same comment on Shawn Klush videos.For me & many others, Martin FONTAINE from Quebec/CANADA & Doug CHURCH are the 2 best Elvis PRESLEY Impersonators in the World now.

    Merry Xmas

    Elvis are #1

    TCB

  • Yes I agree. There is this mistaken myth that Elvis was this ever-presently obese cartoon character. Actually, for 98% of his life, he was a striking figure with great power in every respect. This guy looks like a condom filled with walnuts.

  • You are my man!!

  • Terrible. I hate this kind of impersanators.

    This guy really thinks he IS Elvis. Two times fatter than Elvis...too old....and his voice sounds too much Elvis. Elvis never sang that way.

  • Also...Gladys and Vernon were unable to raise two boys due to they're dirt poor conditions..Its claimed that an Gladys gave the baby whom Gladys had difficulty delivering and was the last one to be born,to one of her sisters to raise.

  • Can we see all of this interview? sounds interesting. Did he actually ever meet Elvis?

  • I personally met Johnny Harra at a 50's sock hop in downtown Dallas at Eddie Deans ranch in 2005,and i had him along with Jim Beasley of the "Del Vikings" autograph my wifes sock hop shirt which im currently taking bids on..And to answer your Question..no,he never met Elvis...But there are some people out there who claim that thats Elvis twin brother Jesse Garon Presley and that he did'nt die at birth..

  • Someone told me that Johnny was 61 now. If that is so he's obviously not his twin brother. Anybody else know? Yes I would say that he could have been a brother, but not his twin and he can't be Elvis if he's only 61. As far as Elvis mannerisms go ! Johnny has got it 'Spot on'. So is he still singing now and in which district?

  • I think Elvis would have aged facially just like him. He looked so much like Elvis when he played his double in the film. He put alot of weight on when he sings"save the last dance for me". Good Elvisy drawl when he talks. How old is he now?

  • it really brings you back to the days when an eta was more than an impersonator. the originals, the foundation of elvis impersonators, those that were doing it when elvis was still alive. they're incredible, the mount rushmore of eta's: johnny harra, jimmy ellis, rick saucedo, peter guerin...they are incredible, and you can still see rick and peter perform these days

  • Martin FONTAINE from Quebec/CANADA & Doug CHURCH are the 2 Best Elvis Impersonators in the World.

  • Shawn Klush,the greatest,& GRACELAND told us what it is worth to be the worlds greatest Elvis-$5,000.Yep, for a lifetimes work.Shawn should have gotten a MILLION and a tour with Elvis' band.Too bad we now know what a lifetime of working as a tribute artist is worth....just $5,000. SHAWN deserves the MILLION and the tour.I really like Johnny Harrah-have followed his career for 30 years.

  • WOW! Its elvis!

  • I'm sure this is not news, but today, the best is Shawn Klush. No ETA even comes close to capturing the movement of Elvis on stage. He simply "gets it."

  • I know its all a matter of taste...but the best elvis impersonator was Pete Wilcox, hands down. He did the voice of Elvis on Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. And was in many tv shows as Elvis...ER (twice) Designing Women, Hogan Family, Alf, Full House Cheers, Renegade, Sledgehammer,Murphy Brown,plus many others, as well as the first Elvis in Legends in Concert in Vegas.

  • Great to see JH again! Met him and saw him play the Silverbird (and others) in Vegas in 1978. When he walked through the casino, people just about mobbed him. Hope he's well...he was great in his day...just after Elvis' death.

  • He was the best I have ever seen or heard. I also saw him in Las Vegas in the 1970s during his Silverbird and Mint Hotel and International ( downtown International, not the one where Elvis appeared ) appearances. I talked with him in Burbank at Burbank Studios one time. He was very much like Elvis in a natural way.

  • whats this guys voice like, where can i hear it??????????

  • JOHNNY IS A HECK OF A NICE GUY-

  • Johnny Harra is the bomb!!! He played Elvis in the famous movie THIS IS ELVIS. Johnny is in it at, the very beginning, he was one of the very few aloud to walk upstairs in graceland and enter Elvis Presleys bedroom. The footage of Elvis' room in this movie, were the last and only time shown to the public. Elvis' bathroom is also shown in the movie, THIS IS ELVIS.

  • I first saw Johnny at The Mint Hotel in Las Vegas, then The Holiday International ( Downtown Las Vegas ). I am a big fan of Elvis and Johnny was the best I have seen at being Elvis. He did not try to imitate Elvis. He just was very much like Elvis. I had a chance to talk with him in California. He was nice.

  • Yes Catfish he's the best i've ever seen,Phil from Belgium

  • This is great!! I really know this man, He is a great family friend, That we have lost contact with. He is the best Elvis Impersonator ever!!!

  • Pete Wilcox is the best ever....has been called the Babe Ruth of Elvis Impersonators...see other comment.

  • ok, i see
