Sony BMG Music Entertainment has released ‘Elvis: Viva Las Vegas’ - featuring music from and is inspired by the ABC television special “Elvis: Viva Las Vegas”
The special focuses on the visual chronicle of Elvis’s life during the Vegas years with particular focus on his music, his ground-breaking style and his legacy. It is scheduled to air on Tuesday September 18th at 9pm EST, and will examine how the King of Rock-and-Roll re-invented Las Vegas and how it re-invented him.
Top recording stars of 2007 will perform Elvis's Vegas classics, woven in with previously unreleased music and documentary footage - never-before-seen-film of Elvis’s Vegas years.
The 16 track ‘Elvis: Viva Las Vegas’ album includes 15 live tracks of Elvis's greatest Vegas hits from his prime Vegas years including “See See Rider,” “The Wonder Of You,” and “Polk Salad Annie.” The first track on the album, “Viva Las Vegas,” is from the movie of the same name.
The release date of ‘Elvis: Viva Las Vegas’ was particularly significant as it was timed to hit the market right before the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ death.
“Elvis Week,” takes place over 9 days in Elvis’ hometown of Memphis (August 11 -19). This year’s celebration will draw more Elvis fans than ever from all over the world to Memphis for an array of events including the 30th Anniversary Concert and the Midnight In Vegas concert.
