not any for Roy Orbinson ( that i have seen or heard of) cant any one hit those high notes!
Also havent seen or heard of any of Johnny Cash no one must not be able to do that gravely voice.
LIving here in Vegas I Would think there would be more impersonaters but I only hear of elvis ones and there are alot here.

What an interesting observation...and one that many of us would be unaware of. Maybe Orbinson and Cash have such a unique vocal range and style that they are a tough act to impersonate. Elvis had more of a bluesy voice within his rock and roll style...and of course his outfits! Maybe the whole package is what makes impersonators gravitate to Elvis over the others. Good question though...one that is rather curious and not easy to answer.

yes I loved elvises wardrobe and funny thing is he took it from Libarace for he had the most flambount wardrobe
and elvis liked all the sparkle and styles capes and all.
Roy ORbuinson has a very high range in his voice I love his songs and JOhnny Cash hasd sort of a gravely voice.
but here in Vegas we have lots and lots of elvises lol

I think it is so easy to copy Elvis. Plus, he used to dress in very unique way, that just by making copy of his dress and his hair make you look like Elvis...
Long time ago I saw "Elvises" skydiving ...I think it was in Vegas...
I am sure you are able to see Elvises more often than rest of us...lol

probably was in Vegas lol yes we see alot.
just shortly we went and saw one on fremont street for a free concert he was a very good one even taked to ya during intermission and shook hands while singing the whole Elvis bit.
and it could be the way he dressed that is the attraction
