Rick Saucedo began his singing career in 1972 at the age of
seventeen. At this time he and his band, “The Ambassadors” worked nightly at many local clubs and lounges. As people began to take notice of this young, talented “Elvis impersonator” he was approached by larger venues. In 1977 Rick performed at the Cabaret in Winnipeg, Canada. From there he was asked to star in the Broadway play, “The Legend Lives On” in 1978. He performed six nights a week for five months, never using a stand-in. He helped arrange the music for the title song, “The Legend Lives On”. Elvis’ background vocal group, the Jordanaires accompanied Rick in the play as well as D.J. Fontana, Elvis’ drummer. In 1979 Rick played the Stardust in Las Vegas, again accompanied by The Jordanaires and D. J. Fontana.
