Elvis impersonator, Johnny Lee Memphis, who was appearing in Alloa Town Hall recently, made a surprise appearance at Ludgate House, to entertain a group of elderly patients.
And none of them were left All Shook Up - far from it, the 40 patients attending Clackmannanshire Council's Respite and Day Care Centre, loved every minute of it.
Councillor Les Sharp, Convener of the Council's Health and Care Committee, said: "We were delighted that Johnny agreed to come along and entertain the patients during his trip to the town. It was a great surprise for all of them, who knew that an entertainer was coming along, but were thrilled when Johnny walked in wearing his full Elvis outfit."
The World Champion Elvis impersonator spent an hour at Ludgate House, singing a variety of Elvis numbers, including "American Trilogy", which had been specially requested by one of the clients in the audience.
"We hope that he will come back again in the future," added Councillor Sharp. "We would like to thank him from taking time out on his busy schedule and wish him well on his tour around Scotland."
Johnny came along to Ludgate House, after being contacted by his sister, who is the housekeeper of the Respite section.
