“I don’t wear expensive wigs, I don’t paste on phony sideburns, I don’t change my voice and I never wear sunglasses on stage,” says Elvis Tribute Artist Sterling Pollaro. “Elvis didn’t do those things and I pay my tribute to this phenomenal human being by trying to recreate his ‘70’s concert tours in every single detail.”
In July 1997 Sterling was judged #1 in the country and #2 in the world at the International professional Class of the Elvis Tribute Artist competition in Ontario. It was in Ontario that Donna Presley Early heard Sterling sing and awarded him a top score of 10 for similarity to her cousin Elvis’ voice.
In the States, Sterling has been showcased at the Dick Clark American Bandstand Café’ in Columbus, Ohio where he wowed the audience as usual and was invited back the following year to compete in the Elvis Extravaganza Impersonator Contest.
