Gordon Hendricks appeared as ELVIS on Stars In Their Eyes and won the 2005 Grand Final with a record 84,895 viewer votes, which represented a massive 32% of the total vote for the 10 artistes appearing.

 

Gordon’s performance impressed award winning Song Writer Geoff Morrow that he has signed Gordon to his Yellow Records label. Geoff Morrow has written hit songs for Elvis, Barry Manilow, The Carpenters, Billy Fury and many many more but when he saw Gordon’s performance he was moved to state:

“Over the years I have heard many Presley impersonators but when Gordon started to sing I actually shivered.”

Geoff penned five songs for Elvis, four of which he recorded. The fifth song, Where Would I Be, was written in 1977 but unfortunately Elvis died before he could record it.

 

“Where Would I Be” has been recorded by Gordon and was his first single, released in Autumn 2006.

Geoff Morrow commented:

“I believe Gordon has recaptured the spirit of the song and Elvis.”
