Robert Joyce, a pastor from a small town in central Arkansas, has started an interesting discussion online.
Joyce’s voice sounds a lot like Elvis Presley, who is known as the King of Rock and Roll. Because of this, a video of him became really popular, and it made people wonder about who he really is.
The Express chatted with Tom Mennel, a lifelong Elvis fan, about his thoughts on Joyce’s true identity. Now 61 years old, Mennel still believes that Joyce is actually Elvis, even though he has been a fan of the King since he was just six. He wishes that Joyce would finally reveal who he really is one day.
Mennel said, “Mr. Joyce reminds me of Elvis, and I really wish he would reveal who he truly is.” He added, “Maybe God is using Elvis’s singing to help heal people who are hurting and struggling in life.”

Mennel expressed that if Elvis were still alive, he would tell him, “My friend and brother, we share a special connection.” He was thinking about how they would be kindred spirits. In Christ, we are all brought together.
