Another Las Vegas Great has passed on to be among the stars. The legendary Bobby Morris, was deservedly famous as the conductor for Elvis Presley. But he was also the Music Director, Conductor and drummer for so many Las Vegas acts like Barbara Streisand.
Bobby was a dear friend and mentor to me. We did several shows together and he always delighted in my act. He shared many of his personal interactions and stories of Elvis with me over the years, I feel so privileged to have known him. Rest In Peace, Bobby, and give my best to Heaven’s Band, and please thank Elvis for me, and for the “Shuffle Beat” (that you invented), it shall still play on down here keeping beat with the rhythm of the Earth. Bobby – Thank You - thangyaverahhmuch!
