Biography:
In the early 60s Terry Stafford (Born 1941) was marketed as an Elvis Presley sound-alike. He actually recorded an Elvis tune called "Suspicion" which made it to #3 on the US charts in 1964.

After many years without another hit or even an LP he signed to Atlantic's new country division in 1973.
