That was an excellent treatment of the song. His voice was similar to that of Elvis without forcing it. It was natural. He didn't try to copy the same style of the song as Elvis had. I bought a bunch of Orion's LPs back in the 1980s. I didn't care for the mask gimmick though. He covered a lot of Elvis songs, but did a fair shar of songs that Elvis never recorded. It's a shame, but Jimmy died a violent death at the hands of robbers at his store --Jimmy's Pawn Shop.
Just for the record, Jimmy was never an Elvis impersonator. In fact, he did everything possible to not be an impersonator. Jimmy’s voice was ironically very similar to Elvis but that’s just the way he sang. Jimmy never wanted to do the Orion masked man gimmick but he had no choice if he wanted to pursue a career in music. His record producer came up with the idea and Jimmy hated every minute he had to wear that mask. Jimmy was a good man who was blessed with an incredible voice. Jimmy and his wife were tragically murdered in an armed robbery in 1998 at the pawn shop they owned. Gone too soon. R.I.P.
