The week in pictures: Hillary Clinton reacts as "Belvis the Black Elvis", Dwayne Turner, performs for her at the Kitchen Express Restaurant in Little Rock, Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton could easily have been all shook up, but instead she proved she's no hound dog.
The New York senator opened her campaign day with a surprising twist while shaking hands in a local diner—a personal serenade from The King.
"A black Elvis," exclaimed Clinton, as she was greeted Dwayne Turner, decked out in the signature white suit and impressive sunglasses.
"This is Clinton Country," said Turner, who quickly broke into the opening bars of "Blue Suede Shoes," drawing a delighted laugh from Clinton
We're going to build a bridge to the 21st Century," said Turner. "We're going to do this thing."
"Yes, we are," replied Clinton, interrupting her greeting of patrons.
Turner said he performs often in the Little Rock area. His business cards say, "Let me shake up any occasion for you."
Clinton started her campaign day by dropping by a local diner to greet customers during the breakfast hour, but Turner quickly stole the moment—and the attention of a bank of cameras—with his crooning entertainment of the presidential candidate. Clinton was building ties to activists in the state where she was first lady before her husband was elected president.
“In the Ghetto”
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across the lonely floor
And a voice is softly saying
Darling this will be goodbye for evermore
There goes my reason for living
There goes the one of my dreams
There goes my only possession
There goes my everything
As my memory turns back the pages
I can see the happy years we've had before
Now the love (FOR POLITICS) that kept this heart beating
Has been shattered by the closing of the door
