Elvis Impersonator Contest

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Top40-Charts) - A new king was crowned in the "Images of the King'' contest, which drew about 90 Elvis Presley impersonators.

Brandon Bennett, 19, of Ponchatoula, La., was named the winner lowing a set of four songs, including Presley's "Viva Las Vegas,'' delivered in a bespangled jumpsuit.

As the top Elvis tribute artist, Bennett won $1,000 and a $1,500 certificate toward the purchase of a flashy new jumpsuit.

Some 2,000 people attended the finals competition Saturday night. The contest, which is not affiliated with Graceland, coincided with the weeklong commemoration of Presley's death 25 years ago on Aug. 16, 1977.
