West Virginia's Other "King"

(Photo courtesy of Charleston Daily Mail.)

Is the photo from one of Elvis' storied 1975 concerts in Charleston? Those who don't attend state Republican Party social events (and even some who do) may not realize it's actually longtime GOP operative Gary Abernathy. The Charleston Daily Mail marks the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death by highlighting Abernathy's side gig as a jumpsuit-era impersonator. He's even got his own cover band, the Jailhouse Rockers.
