Kodi Lee Sounds Just Like Elvis Presley Singing "Blue Suede Shoes": Listen
The America's Got Talent Season 14 winner did the King proud with this cover.
In 2020, America's Got Talent Season 14 winner Kodi Lee did an ultra blues-y cover of a classic '50s tune at an event for the Unicorn Children's Foundation: "Blue Suede Shoes" by Elvis Presley.
During his performance, Lee sounded remarkably like the King, singing in a deep, Memphis-like register. He then played an impressive piano breakdown, not missing a single note. He encouraged the crowd to put their hands together, and they clapped along enthusiastically while having a blast.
Check out the super fun performance here.
