Al Dvorin

Albert Dvorin (November 18, 1922, in Chicago, Illinois – August 22, 2004, near Ivanpah, California) was an American promoter, concert announcer and talent agent who was best known for working with Elvis Presley. Dvorin also worked as a talent agent in Chicago early in his career. He specialized in booking what were then known as midget acts and performing animal acts. Dvorin was also the booking agent for Pee Wee King, a country performer who frequently opened for Eddy Arnold. Although Dvorin did not originate the phrase, he helped popularize it.

After announcing for an Elvis tribute show in August 2004, featuring Elvis impersonator Paul Casey at the Trump 29 Casino in Coachella, California, Dvorin was killed in a car accident on the way back to Las Vegas. After his death, Presley estate spokesperson Todd Morgan said of the iconic phrase, "Al made it his own with his particular style."
