No way. Maybe in some sort of other show-business hall-of-fame. According to his wiki, he's in the Gaming Hall of Fame (I had no idea this existed either). Not even worthy of a Kennedy Center Honor. He's a Vegas and Branson icon - still, to anyone past baby boomers he really has no legacy. Maybe I'm wrong, somebody enlighten me.

I'm also wondering how in the world his Elvis tribute song "The Letter" went to #1 on the Cashbox Pop chart in 1992? No one seems to have any explanation on how it happened.

You have to be kidding...LOL
One of the early "baby Boomers" to be a Vegas Icon Now many rockers want to rock Vegas
Maybe if he had a few tatoos you would like him LOL
