Elvis Presley was inducted into the UK Music Hall Of Fame last night as a founding member. (Because of his huge impact on the British music scene.) Priscilla Presley accepted the honour in person on behalf of Elvis.

The NAKED GUN actress enthused, "Elvis would be very proud. I wish that he could be here to enjoy this moment.

"His dream of a world tour was never realised. His fan base was so strong here, and because of that he would have been very proud to receive this."

Viewers were asked to vote on a shortlist of 10 artists from each decade. Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Madonna and U2 were elected founding members because of their huge impact on the British music scene.

Decade representatives include SIR CLIFF RICHARD for the 1950s, the ROLLING STONES for the 1960s, QUEEN for the 1970s, MICHAEL JACKSON for the 1980s and Williams as the top 1990s artist.

A UK Music Hall of Fame CD was released in the UK on November 8. However despite the claim "The UK Music Hall of Fame CD is the most comprehensive collection of tracks ever compiled", Elvis is not included.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
