Musician, songwriter, actor, and Elvis Presley tribute artist. Saucedo started his career as one of the earliest Elvis impersonators when he joined Dan Lentino And The Fabulous Ambassadors at the age of 17 in 1972. He has led a successful solo career, occasionally performing with popular artists such as The Jordanaires, D.J. Fontana, J.D. Sumner & The Stamps, and The Sweet Inspirations. Citing influence from The Beatles and Pink Floyd, he notably produced the psychedelic-inspired album Rick Saucedo - Heaven Was Blue in 1978, which has become a highly-valued collector's item.
