Posted August 15, 200717 yr Saw this on elvis-express.com http://www.elvis-express.com/images/lisa_elvis_ghetto.JPG Lisa Marie Presley is commemorating the 30th anniversary of her father's death by singing along with him. Elvis Presley's only child, who has released two albums of her own, will premiere the video of a posthumous duet with her dad on his classic 'In the Ghetto' Thursday night at the 30th Anniversary Elvis Presley Tribute Concert in Memphis. Starting on Friday, it will be available for viewing here on Spinner. The video, directed by Tony Kaye ('American History X'), was shot in New Orleans, and, as Presley tells Spinner, she was so touched by the lingering affects of Hurricane Katrina that she decided to make this video more than just a tribute to her dad.It will be posted on the AOL internet site Spinner.com, a company spokesman said today. The transcript of an interview with Lisa Marie Presley, will also be posted, AOL spokesman Kurt Patat said. In the interview, Lisa Marie Presley said the project was emotionally stirring. "We had two hours to lay down my vocals," she says in the interview transcript. "So the next morning, I heard the rough ... and ... I've never cried when I've done anything ... ever ... but I just lost it when I heard it. "It's pretty organic. There are no bells and whistles - they just added me into the original recording." Lisa Marie Presley also talks in the interview about how she was offended to see her father's song, Viva Las Vegas used in a Viagra commercial. "I find that revolting," she said. "Some songs we have no control over. I know we didn't license that one." Proceeds from the new song and video will be used to help build temporary housing for the homeless in New Orleans, she said. The project is to be similar to Presley Place, a 12-unit apartment building for the homeless built in Memphis by Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc in 2001. At the time, Elvis Presley Enterprises was owned by Lisa Marie. She sold 85 per cent of the company two years ago to CKX Inc, which now controls the worldwide business in marketing Elvis' name and image. Elvis Presley died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977, and thousands of fans are in town this week for the 30th anniversary of his death. Lisa Marie Presley, 39, is scheduled to attend a concert in Memphis on Thursday that will feature her father performing on video, with live support from his former backup singers and band members. Her most recent album of her own music was Now What in 2005, but she said in the interview that she hopes to put out a new album soon. "I'm definitely going to do it," she said. "I just have to figure out the right way. I'm on a clean slate right now - I just got off my label (Capitol Records). So I'm figuring out my next route."

August 20, 200717 yr Thank you for posting the video, guys I was at the Concert and I thought that Lisa Marie did a fantastic job dueting with her father :wub: The video itself is a bit controversial, because of the children playing with guns, but I thought it got the message across well, and all proceeds from the downloads will go towards Presley Place in New Orleans, for those affected by the hurricane in 2005.
