MEMORIES FROM DAYS GONE BY. HERE HE COMES. DERRICK REED WON’T TURN 19 UNTIL LATER THIS SUMMER, BUT HE’S ALREADY GAINED A LOYAL FOLLOWING BY TURNING INTO ELVIS. YOU READY? OKAY. BECAUSE I SEE. SEE, SEE, SEE, SEE? RIDER. DERRICK STARTED SINGING IN FOURTH GRADE, AND THEN EIGHTH GRADE. I DECIDED TO DO ELVIS BECAUSE MY VOICE WAS GETTING A LITTLE TOO DEEP TO DO. FRANKIE VALLI. MOST OF HIS GIGS, LIKE THIS ONE AT THE GARDENS AT GETTYSBURG ARE IN FRONT OF AUDIENCES WHO ENJOYED ELVIS IN HIS PRIME. EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE CELL BLOCK. DERRICK’S OWN GRANDMAS INSPIRED HIS LOVE OF THE KING. HE EMBRACES THE ROLE JUMPSUIT AND ALL BABY, IT’S JUST, YOU KNOW, I ALSO DO TRY TO GO INTO THAT SOUTHERN ACCENT AND I TRY TO BECOME ELVIS, BUT I’M YOUR SOUND. EXACTLY LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT’S HIS VOICE. THEY CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE WITH THEIR FACES. SAY IT ALL. THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM. AND I GET DOWN ON MY KNEES AND HOLD THEIR HANDS. AND SOME OF THEM CRY. SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW, JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT. OH, SHIRLEY, TO THE SEE. THE MUSIC IS LIKE A TIME MACHINE. IT GOES, I LOVE BEING ABLE TO TAKE PEOPLE BACK TO THE TO THE PAST THROUGH SONG. ABSOLUTELY UNLOCKS THE DOOR, YOU KNOW, TO THEIR MEMORY. OH, GOING TO PARTIES AND DANCING AND DAYS IT’S BECAUSE IT CAN REALLY CHANGE THEIR WHOLE DAY CHANGE THEIR WHOLE ATTITUDE AND WHATNOT JUST WITH A SONG. SO IT’S AMAZING WHAT MUSIC CAN DO FOR PEOPLE. TAKE IT AWAY, TAKE. AND FOR THAT THEY ARE ALL GRATEFUL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK EVERYBODY. COME ON, ANN
