@MrRecordbuyer oh ok, still, RCA who owned Elvis' contract were the ones who promoted Janis Martin as the female Elvis; legally, no one else could be ;) haha... it's all cool Mr Outhouse ^_^

[MrRecordbuyer]

@Shoknifeman You are both right. Nobody cornered the market on being touted as "The Female Elvis". Janis Martin and Sparkle Moore were both billed as a "Female Elvis"...among others. Sparkle played the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa in '56 or '57 and the radio stations, KIOA in particular pushed her as an Elvis type Femme Fatale.

@MrOuthouse59 Janis Martin was promoted as the female Elvis, not Sparkle Moore

[MrOuthouse59]

@MrOuthouse59 ...not sure, but that was my understanding...back in the day.. She was played on local stations (station?) and touted as the female Elvis..Was the D.J. Sandy Jackson?

[MrOuthouse59]

Is she from Omaha?
