Alis
Lesley is a former American rockabilly singer, once billed as "the female
Elvis Presley."
Lesley was born Alice Lesley in Chicago, Illinois on April 20, 1938. Her family
later moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where she attended Phoenix Junior College. She
majored in television and radio, and began singing rockabilly while a student.
She was discovered by Kathryn Godfrey, a popular Phoenix television personality
and the sister of Arthur Godfrey. With Ms. Godfrey's help, Lesley became a local
favorite following her appearances on television station KTVK and in local night
clubs.
Lesley achieved brief national celebrity with the 1957 release of her Era
single, "He Will Come Back to Me" b/w "Heartbreak Harry" (Era Records 45-1034).
Lesley's stage persona as "The Female Elvis
Presley" included a guitar slung around her neck, greased-back hair, and
combed-down sideburns.
She toured Australia in October 1957 with
Little Richard,
Eddie Cochran,
Gene Vincent and local rocker Johnny O'Keefe. The tour was cut short when
Richard underwent a "religious experience" and he retired from rock'n'roll for
several years.
