I'm going to post sightings, leads and research here. I'll post this information as I go along, so you can see some of the information I'm using to move forward. FROM ME: WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE EMAILS WE RECEIVE FROM FANS. LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INTERESTING NEWS. THANKS, ADAM 3/14/07 Hi Adam, I finally had the chance to read "Elvis & Me by Priscilla and thought I'd share a little info with you. As I read the book, I really find it hard to believe that Priscilla would put some of the information she has in the book if Elvis was alive. There is quite a bit of their intimacy moments in the book and knowing what I've read about the two of them, it's hard to believe Priscilla even sharing this information. All I know is that I have very mixed feelings about the whole Elvis thing. Is it a money gimmick and/or just to keep Elvis and themselves in the limelight light. I do know that people are out to make a buck off of him. Some of those addresses on People Search are phony and they shouldn't be allowed to rip people off by using his middle initial and date of birth.

  • Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. Pursuing Legal Action Against Rca Germany
    Contacts: In Europe: Leslie Perrin +44 203 142 8335 (direct) [email protected] In USA: David Beckwith (323) 845-9836 [email protected] ELVIS PRESLEY ENTERPRISES, INC. PURSUING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST RCA GERMANY Suit Alleges German Copyright Law Provides for Continuing Record Royalties for Elvis Presley for music sold in Germany MEMPHIS, TN – August 30, 2011 – Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. and the Calunius Litigation Risk Fund announced today developments in a multi-million Euro lawsuit against Arista Music, formerly RCA Records, in Germany. The suit, which was filed in the name of its sister company Elvis Presley Enterprises, LLC in December 2010, is demanding proper payment for sound recordings in Germany featuring Elvis Presley including new media, like downloads, ringtones and entertainment apps that Presley himself could not have dreamed would someday exist. The suit is only applicable to sound recordings in Germany and is limited to amounts earned since March 2002 and future revenue until 2023 following an amendment to German copyright law that extended the term of copyright protection. The suit alleges that Presley was unjustly exploited during his lifetime by an unprincipled record company and that his estate has continued to suffer from those injustices. The central issue, as it relates to this German suit, is the 1973 buyout agreement, which terminated all previous agreements between Presley and RCA. On February 28, 1973, under the agreement, which was first initiated by RCA and arranged by Presley’s manager, “Colonel” Tom Parker, rights to Presley’s entire back catalogue of more than 1,000 recordings were purchased by RCA for just $5.4 million.

  • Otis Blackwell: Songwriter to “The King”
    Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum • Words & Music • Grades 7-12 Otis Blackwell: Songwriter to “The King” As the songwriter of two of Elvis Presley’s career-making hits, Otis Blackwell will always be linked to the man known as the King of Rock & Roll. But many other artists gave voice to Blackwell’s work, leaving behind a legacy that reaches far beyond Presley’s shadow. Indeed, Blackwell is considered one of rock & roll’s most influential songwriters. According to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, “Blackwell is without question one of the select songwriters whose songs literally helped redefine America’s popular music in the early and mid-1950s.” Born February 16, 1932, in Brooklyn, New York, Blackwell grew up next to a movie theater and developed a passion for Hollywood’s singing cowboys and their western music. “Like the blues, it told a story,” he once said. “But it didn’t have the same restrictive construction. A cowboy song could do anything.” Blackwell began writing songs in his teens, but turned his attention to performing after winning a local talent show. He soon tired of the road, choosing instead to focus on songwriting while working a day job pressing clothes at a New York tailor shop. Blackwell’s demo tape of “Don’t Be Cruel” caught the ear of Presley, who had just signed with RCA Records in November 1955 and was looking to Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker, insisted that Blackwell share expand his southern regional popularity to national stardom. Taking cues writing credit with Presley to increase the artist’s profit—a common from Blackwell’s distinctive vocal phrasing, Presley turned the song into a practice at the time among stars.

  • “Blue Suede Shoes” a Film Script for Tasmanian Gothic Script Challenge, March 4-6, 2016
    “Blue Suede Shoes” a film script for Tasmanian Gothic Script Challenge, March 4-6, 2016. 1 INT. BEDROOM – MORNING STORY BEGINS with black image, silence. After a few seconds an unseen PELTON “PELVIS” WESLEY, 30s, overweight, is WAKING from sleep. As he grunts and snuffles, his MOTHER, 60-ish, shouts from somewhere distant in the house. MOTHER (O/S) (in distance, hard, rasping voice) Pelton! You still in bed, boy? Pelton! Time to move yourself! Unseen, Pelvis grunts and groans a little louder. PELVIS (V/O) (mumbling, groaning, sniffling) Ohhh! Errgh! Whazzat. Is the sun up already? Hell! INT. PELVIS’S MAN CAVE – LATER, SAME MORNING Semi-darkness. SOUND of a DOOR OPENING, and CLICK of a LIGHT SWITCH. Subdued light FLICKERS on. The room is an homage to Elvis Presley. Photos and posters of Elvis, artefacts, clothing and bric-a-brac are spread throughout – LP and 45rpm records, movie DVDs, cassettes, CDs, pop books, magazines, Elvis toys, dolls and games, and a photo propped up of Pelvis wearing 1970s Elvis garb outside Gracelands, bearing the inscription, “To Pelvis Wesley, with fond regards, Graceland Foundation”. One of the Elvis objects in the room is a small, white model coffin with a closed lid, with miniature golden grip bars. The coffin is raised on a little dais, and around it are blobs of plastic flowers. This all sits on a shelf display. Small LIGHT GLOBES point down towards the coffin. These lights are off. As we move in for a closer view, Pelvis’s hands reach towards the coffin – we can see the edges of sequinned shirt sleeves at his wrists.
