Welcome to Danny Boy's website. Most people don't know that "Danny Boy" the song, was the first tune played by  the organist at Elvis' funeral. (Elvis My Brother by Billy Stanley - 1989)

Check miraculous photo of " Elvis in Spirit " below on this website or at " Elvis in Spirit " / miraculous photos to learn more about Elvis' fascinating return in spirit which is an event he always claimed to be capable of. We have sent copies of this photo to Graceland and it is in their files.

As to Danny's accomplishments, he has earned the right to be acknowledged as an International Recording Artist as his music has been released all over the world and he has recorded in American and Canadian Studios.

Today Danny Boy has been acknowledged by worldwide " Aelita Musical Enterprises Co.'s Jack Neihausen, " Simply Entertainment's " producer Joseph Callura, " Solid Gold Show's " management, Memphis, " Elvis Now and Then " producer Happy Johnson, " Country Music Spotlight International " Jacksonville Beach, Florida, " Dundas Review " Editor Martha Jette, " Three Dog Night " bassist Joe Schermie, " Stardust Records " producer and owner Colonel Buster Doss, as " THE BEST."

We all understand that opinions are subjective, political, and therefore often quite biased. In this situation there is a reason " why " Elvis hitched his star to Danny. George Klein asked Danny at Alfred's on Beale St. Memphis, Nov. 25, 1995 "why would Elvis return in spirit with you, instead of inner circle members like myself ? " We suggest you listen to " the magic " of Danny Boy's voice and come to your own conclusions. We have chosen four gospel tunes for examples as it was most important to Elvis to be remembered for his gospel performances.

Danny Boy is available for live performances. He sings all of Elvis' styles. 50's, 60's, 70's, Christmas songs, and Elvis Gospel. He performs his original album tunes, and 3 other impersonations:

ENGLEBERT	NEIL DIAMOND	MARTY ROBBINS

 

Danny had a No. 1 double sided hit release in 1971 with the 10 piece band, " Young." In 1991 Danny recorded his first new country album in Los Angeles with Three Dog Night bassist Joe Schermie, drummer Floyd Sneed and vocalist Chuck Negron.

Late July of 1992 Danny was recording his second album in Nashville Tn., when he met Cliff Gleaves who lived with Elvis on Audabon Dr. and was the first person to move into Graceland with Elvis. ( Joe Esposito makes several mentions of Cliff in his book " Good Rockin Tonight " 1994 ) Cliff heard Danny's voice and was most impressed with the song " The Greatest Love Story Ever Told," a song which Elvis intended to record just before he died in 77. Cliff invited Danny to join him in Memphis and meet Elvis' inner circle. The invitation was accepted with the belief that devine intervention had a will of it's own. In 1993 Danny's song " The Greatest Love Story Ever Told " was nominated as song of the year by Airplay International in Nashville.

You should begin to notice a sequence of events which are leading up to " Elvis' return in spirit." If your a big Elvis fan you will know George Klein. George interviewed Danny, Cliff, and songwriter Lucky Linder for 7 days straight on WHBQ radio's remote from Graceland. They talked about the song's history and played it every day. In 1994 Danny completed his 3rd new country album with legendary Colonel Buster Doss of Stardust Records, Nashville. The Colonel believed that no one had more of what it takes to succeed in the music business than Danny. Ten songs were released independently all over the world. Disc jockeys and record exec.'s thought Danny sounded too much like Elvis. Three years later Danny would begin to perform Elvis tribute shows.
