Branson, Mo.-based entertainer Dean Z was born to channel Elvis Presley. Just shake, rattle and roll over to YouTube for evidence. A 1987 video, shot by his mother Jackie Zeligman, shows a 3-year-old Dean performing Presley’s “Jailhouse Rock” in full kingly garb, his Elvis-like movements remarkably innate, his sense of rhythm impeccable.
