I remember 'Orion'! He lived here in Selma, AL. His real name was Jerry.
Sadly, he (and his wife) were killed by robbers at the store he owned and ran for years back in 1998. He was only 53.
I remember my Mom liked him because she was a big Elvis fan. I imagine it's kind of like all of the Nirvana imitation bands that came out in the mid-90's to fill the Kurt Cobain gap.
Somewhat realated to this, there was another local Elvis impersonator who had a tragic story. He had several wives die within a matter of a few years... I believe it was cancer, a car accident, and a heart attack. I don't think he ever released an album, though, but you can occasionally still find him in local bars singing Elvis karaoke.
