An intriguing debate has been sparked on the internet by Robert Joyce, a priest from rural central Arkansas. Joyce’s voice, which bears a striking resemblance to that of Elvis Presley, went viral after a video of him surfaced, leading many to question his true identity.
Tom Mennel, a lifelong Elvis fan, shared his thoughts in an interview with “The Express”, strongly believing that Joyce is, in fact, Elvis. Mennel, 61, who has adored the King of Rock and Roll since childhood, maintains that Joyce will eventually reveal the truth about his identity.
“I hope Mr. Joyce will come clean about who he is because he reminds me of Elvis,” Mennel said. He also offered a spiritual perspective, suggesting that perhaps God is using Elvis’s voice to heal and uplift those who are struggling.
Mennel reflected on what he would say to Elvis if he were still alive: “If he were alive, I would say to him, my friend and brother, that we are kindred spirits. In Christ, we are one.”
