In rural central Arkansas, clergyman Robert Joyce has sparked a lively online debate with a viral video capturing his uncanny resemblance to Elvis Presley’s voice. The video has set social media abuzz, with fans questioning whether Joyce might actually be the King reborn. The Express interviewed lifelong Elvis devotee Tom Mennel, 61, who has been a fan since he was six years old. Mennel remains convinced of Joyce’s true identity and hopes that someday he will reveal his secret. “Mr. Joyce is like Elvis to me, and I hope he’ll come clean about his identity,” Mennel said, adding a spiritual twist: “Perhaps God is using Elvis’ voice to minister to broken hearts and lives.” Reflecting on this connection, Mennel remarked, “If Elvis were alive, I would say to him, my friend and brother, that we are kindred spirits. We are united in Christ.” This article delves into how one viral video can ignite national discussions on identity and the enduring legacy of cultural icons like Elvis Presley.
