BBC Radio Two has commissioned a trailer to showcase its breath of musical coverage, mixing footage of Elvis Presley with modern artists.

 

Made in collaboration with DFGW advertising agency and Red Bee Media, the trailer shows Elvis introducing his band at the end of the 1973 Aloha from Hawaii show.

 

The band consists of legendary figures Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Sheryl Crow, Noel Gallagher and The Sugababes matched to make it look as though they are all on stage together.

 

Radio Two controller Lesley Douglas says, “Music is at the heart of what Radio Two does and this trailer reinforces that. We're extremely grateful to the Graceland Foundation and the featured artists for allowing us to showcase Radio Two's amazing line-up."
