Elvis Song in British BMW TV Commercial
We have another
TV ad featuring the music of Elvis Presley, this time BMW with the launch of their new 3 Series. 'What all winners have in common is joy'. That's the baseline for the new BMW '3 Series' TV ads. The clip that currently promotes the new BMW cars on UK television, comes with the remix of Elvis' A Little Less Conversation. It just shows once again that you can't keep a good song down. This makes it the tenth in the past year and we congratulate EPE for allowing the use and in effect providing very clever marketing.

Review : Special Delivery : The Ultimate Elvis Presley Collectors Box
The Special Delivery : The Ultimate Elvis Presley Collectors Box contains an unbelievable soft cover book promoted in the pre-publicity as a 'unique 60-page Elvis & Priscilla Wedding Album', while I felt sure this was going to be the highlight of the box set I was not prepared for how comprehensive it is, and I must admit I did not know there where so many high quality photos of Elvis and Priscilla's Wedding available.

Bing Crosby talks about Elvis Presley
Audio:
Bing Crosby talks about Elvis Presley. Bing's comments are surprisingly perceptive: 'He's gonna be a very big star, I mean, in a lot of fields ... he sings in tune, and he's got good rhythm, he just hasn't developed enough voice just yet to handle the ballads but that'll come ...' An interesting audio document. Bing Crosby was surely an influence on Elvis, and he clearly understood Elvis Presley and his talent, way better than the idiot who was interviewing him. In fact, Elvis had great rhythm, he could sing, and with time he developed his voice and became an accomplished vocalist. Elvis received the Bing Crosby award in 1971 ...

At Home with Elvis : A fun character animation with the King of rock and roll
A fun character animation with the King of rock and roll. To create a short animated film you don't always need a new story. Sometimes you can also simply be inspired by a well-known song. In this case was that Are You Lonesome Tonight?, a well-known hit by Elvis Presley. A caricatured version of the King of rock and roll is a little lonely in this beautiful character animation.The short film was directed by Seth Watkins and is a production of 'A Large Evil Corporation', a British studio with an ominous name.

Lisa Marie Presley : Elvis Presleys Princess
As the only child of rock & roll's first and most celebrated rock star, Lisa Marie Presley would have to work extremely hard to establish her own individuality, far far away from her famous Father. Born to Elvis and Priscilla Presley on February 1, 1968, Elvis' only daughter spent the first four years of her life at Graceland where she was the apple of her father's eye. When her parents split in 1972, Lisa Marie left Memphis with her mother for the suburbs of Los Angeles, but would regularly visit Elvis in Memphis.

Another Rave Review : Young Man With The Big Beat
The first two discs (40:21 and 54:51) included the remastered versions of the albums 'Elvis Presley' and 'Elvis', as well as 15 songs released as singles. Instant classics were 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'Heartbreak Hotel', 'My Baby Left Me', 'Lawdy, Miss Clawdy', Hound Dog', 'Don't Be Cruel', 'Any Way You Want Me' and 'Love Me Tender'. The non-hits are very worthwhile too. This set shows Presley was very good from the start, no matter what type of music he performed. She can see traces of his future religious music in 'I'm Counting on You' and movie soundtrack sin the jaunty 'Let Me'. He even is masterful on 'Old Shep', a weeper about having to put his old dog down, but being unable to do it. (In one of the interviews, Presley reveals that 'Old Shep' was the first song he ever performed in front of an audience.)
