  17. Another Unreleased Elvis Song... A late songwriter’s heirs are all shook up over the recent discovery of a long-lost Elvis Presley outtake. The children of Jimmie Crane, who died in 1998, filed suit yesterday to claim the copyright to “Living to Love You,” which The King apparently recorded in 1965 but never released. The Manhattan federal-court filing says Crane “produced and co-authored” the number without any help from the late Detroit music exec Albert Leigh. A lawyer for Leigh’s sons, Violet Hinton, said she has a 1993 letter in which Crane told Albert Leigh “I love working with you” and granted him the rights to “the songs you like” from Crane’s catalog. Hinton said she offered to sell the tape to the company that manages Presley’s estate, but “I could never get them to call me back.”...
