After Paul Elvis Chan, proprietor of the Gracelands Palace Chinese restaurant, had performed a selection of the King's hits, the microphone was handed to his customers, with joyful results. Sadly, Mr Chan's restaurant is no more. This picture is from August 1992.
This photo was taken on August 16, 1992 in New Cross Gate, London, England, GB.

Brilliant shot, Mr H!
I've had quite a few wonderful times there but not for several years. One night he kept us there until about 2.30am. I don't think he wanted to go to bed that night. He exhausted Elvis and went on to Neil Diamond then whatever anyone asked for.
When did it close the place? I wonder what he's doing now.
