Hi . . . . I'm Andy Stankovich .... "Elvis The Voice"


My passion is singing Elvis Presley songs. It always came naturally, and I never trained my voice or practiced.
.
It was my friends that told me how natural my sound was.
.
Maybe it is just because it comes not from my voice... but from my heart.
.
To see so many people enjoy what I am able to share is an enormous bonus to me.

An Elvis Quote

Elvis Presley:

"The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn't know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It's a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said 'What'd I do? What'd I do?' And he said 'Whatever it is, go back and do it again."

Elvis and Graceland



Elvis purchased his famous Graceland mansion (along with the now infamous pink Cadillac for his mother) in 1957. In 1982, Priscilla opened Graceland to the public, claiming the funds were necessary to maintain the property. Today, Graceland is the second most-visited house in America after the White House, Highway 51 which runs in front of Graceland, was officially renamed Elvis Presley Boulevard.


On August 29, 1977, there was an attempt to steal Elvis' body, but it failed. Because of that, Vernon Presley received approval from the Memphis Adjustment Board to allow reinterment of Elvis and his mother Gladys Presley bodies to the Meditation Garden behind Graceland.

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?



Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?


(words & music by Scott Wiseman)


Have I told you lately that I love you?
Could I tell you once again somehow?
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you?
Well darling I’m telling you now

Have I told you lately when I’m sleeping
Every dream I dream is you somehow?
Have I told you why the nights are long
When you're not with me?
Well darling I’m telling you now

My heart would break in two if I refuse you
I’m no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I’m telling you now

My heart would break in two if I refuse you
I’m no good without you anyhow
And have I told you lately that I love you
Well darling I’m telling you now
