"Nothing really affected me until I heard Elvis on the radio back in 1956. If there hadn't been an Elvis Presley,there
wouldn't have been the Beatles"- John Lennon
The music of Elvis Presley transcends all barriers of age, caste, class or religion. Elvis can be a friend, a father,
a lover or anything you want him to be – for that was his talent. You could feel it in his voice, the emotion, the pain,
the heartbreak and that the fact that only one person in the world matters to him. You. For if you listen to any Elvis song
carefully, you will feel like he’s singing to you and only to you alone
He's the reason I got into the music business and became an RJ on All India Radio's 107.1 Fm. The man's been my
hero as I was growing up - just as he is for millions of other kids and people in the world today. He has millions and millions
of fans here in India too, and if you would like to meet other Elvis fan’s just like you and learn all about the man
& his music…this is the place to do it!
This site is to promote our club, share ideas, and organize Elvis events and activities. So spread the word...

ELVIS 35th ANNIVERSARY- A YEAR LONG CELEBRATION!
Fantastic news from the folks at EPE (Elvis Presley Enterprises!) In 2012, there will
be even more ways than ever for fans, many of whom were not yet born (like me!) when Elvis passed away, to celebrate their
love for the undisputed King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. This year promises to be one of the biggest years in the Elvis
world as plans take shape for a year-long celebration of the life and legacy of the Rock ‘n Roll icon on his 35th death
anniversary.
Three new exhibits will be unveiled at Graceland starting with “Elvis on Tour” that opens to
the public on January 5th. The exhibit celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Golden Globe award-winning documentary of the
same name. “Elvis …Through His Daughter’s Eyes” will open on February 1st, Lisa Marie Presley’s
birthday, and will highlight the relationship between Elvis and his only child. The largest exhibit launching during the 35th
Anniversary year, “Icon: The Influence of Elvis Presley,” will open on March 1st and will feature many artifacts
on loan from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. The exhibit will celebrate Elvis’ status as a music
pioneer and icon that paved the way and influenced many of today’s artists and notable celebrities.
The largest ever international Elvis Presley exhibition will be unveiled in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2012 featuring
hundreds of artifacts on loan from Graceland in Memphis. Elvis Presley In Concert, an astounding production that reunites
former Elvis band mates live on stage with a state of the art video-projected Elvis, is returning in March of 2012 for a 16
date tour through Europe which includes London, Paris, Dublin, Zurich and Frankfurt in addition to Sao Paulo, Brazil, timed
to coincide with the opening of the grand exhibition.
ELVIS MEETS JAMES BOND! Check out the official video above of
the new 'remixed' Suspicious Minds. Whoever did this is obviously a big fan of the James Bond
movies just like me! Every Bond movie opened with Maurice Binder's fantastic sequences of beautiful women silhouetted
against the title song - exactly how this Elvis video pans out. If I didn't know any better - I would have thought this was
the music video to a Bond movie title sequence. Note to the 007 producers and E.P.E enterprises- whenever 007
returns to the big screen - get an Elvis song for the title. -FALI.
NEW ELVIS ALBUM 'VIVA ELVIS' OUT NOW -LET'S GET ELVIS TO NUMBER ONE!
The new VIVA ELVIS album has just been released worldwide... and guess what - it's surprisingly
great! Let's get it to number one folks - go and buy it online, on iTunes and your local stores now!
I know each and every Elvis song intimately and really hate it when someone remixes a classic Elvis song
every once in awhile and makes it unlistenable. But I have to admit that the new album is really good!
Canadian circus group Cirque du Soleil unveiled its own tribute to the life and music of the King of Rock
and Roll with its new show "VIVA ELVIS" in Las Vegas (similar to the Beatles LOVE show they previously did!)
which has been making waves the world over.
VIVA ELVIS - the album, is out in stores across the world now - and features "reimagined"
versions of Presley’s hits inspired by the Cirque du Soleil show of the same name. Erich van Tourneau, the Musical Director
of the project, assembled the album using vocal samples of the singer taken from albums, films, interviews and gig recordings,
revamping classic Elvis songs while incorporating elements of modern rock, punk, urban and hip-hop music.Songs reworked on
the album include the hits Blue Suede Shoes, Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me Tender, King Creole, Burning Love, Suspicious Minds
and Can’t Help Falling in Love.
THE ULTIMATE ELVIS BOX SET EVER - THE COMPLETE ELVIS MASTERS!
Elvis fans, start scrimping and saving. Next month RCA Records will release The Complete Elvis Presley Masters,
a collection of everything The King put out on the label during his lifetime, and more. By the numbers, this set is
staggering. It features more than 35 hours of music on 30 CDs, a 240-page exclusive hardcover book and more than 800 tracks,
including 103 rare recordings. Equally staggering numbers include the price (about Rs 40,000 or $800).
All recordings have been mastered from the original analog tapes. The accompanying book includes an annotated
discography, original album artwork, rare and famous photos, a full song index and an essay by my favourite Elvis Author and
Historian Peter Guralnick (who wrote the best Presley biographies ever - Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley
and Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley). THE COMPLETE ELVIS PRESLEY MASTERS is an indispensable
piece of music history and the one collection no true Elvis fan should be without. Check out the photos on the side!

film also marked director John Carpenter and Russell's first collaboration in what would become a legendary pairing. Not seen
in over 30 years, Elvis The Movie was released on DVD for the first time ever in 2010.
Warner Home Video will release, Elvis On Tour in both Blu-ray and DVD versions. The

The King's Long-Lost Smoothie Recipe!
In honor of the 34th anniversary of the King’s death, Chuck Cotton from Tupelo, Mississippi, sent in his recipe
of a classic milkshake Elvis used to love. It's called “The Presley.” Check it out on Chuck's website
to make your own!
A good site to check out is the Elvis Lighted Candle Free Forum. Sue Adams and her
friends are currently working on this forum in relation to Elvis' love of gospel music, where they believe his true
heart and soul to be! It's similar to a spiritual online 'sanctuary' where people might like to just go and be, to rest and
know peace in amongst the general chaos of the world. http://www.elvislightedcandle.org/elc_forum.htm
Our kind friends at Sony Music India (the official music company) are big Elvis fans & they've informed
me that there are some new Elvis releases out soon. If Elvis Fans are interested in picking up Elvis Cd's &
Dvds at a discount, the record company is more than willing to help out! Those interested...mail me & let me know what
