Elvis By Special Request '71 At 40 (Book Review): The latest Joseph Tunzi - Paul Lichter collaboration provides a long overdue visual focus on what some refer to as Elvis' 'lost tour". EIN recently took time out to explore what '71 At 40 has to offer. What we found was a visually pleasing portfolio of images (many rare or previously unpublished) from the 12 cities visited throughout the tour supported by two informative essays by Paul Lichter and an array of press clippings published during the tour.

Great news! Keep up the good work, guys and keep Elvis in the Top 10 where he belongs :yahoo:

Yet another Elvis connected person passes away :( Elvis Director Hal Kanter dies at 92 http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/Halkanter_elvis1x.jpg Hal Kanter was an Emmy Award-winning comedy writer, and a director and producer whose career included writing for Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, directing Elvis Presley and creating a landmark 1960s TV series "Julia" starring Diahann Carroll, has died. He was 92. Among his movie credits as a writer are Hope and Crosby's "Road to Bali" and Martin & Lewis' "Money from Home" and "Artists and Models" as well as the movies including "Pocket Full of Miracles". He also directed Elvis Presley in the 1957 movie "Loving You," which Kanter co-wrote; and he wrote the screenplay for Presley's 1961 film "Blue Hawaii." Kanter's longest-running writing job was the annual Academy Awards ceremony. Beginning in 1952, a year before the broadcast moved from radio to television, he wrote for the Oscar show at least 33 years. In 1991 and 1992, Kanter was among the Oscar show writers who shared Emmys for outstanding writing in a variety program. Interviewed for the Definitive Elvis Documentary, Kanter revealed some nice insights into working with Elvis Kanter: First of all, while we were having dinner at Elvis's house, a rather boisterous gentleman came barging into the living room. That was Colonel Tom Parker. That's when I had met him for the first time. He was on his way to Shreveport where I was going to accompany Elvis for his farewell concert on the Louisiana Hayride. And Elvis was very proud of me, because I was his Hollywood director. He kept introducing me to people as my director from Hollywood, overlooking completely the fact that I was the writer which I was more proud of than being a director, and still am as a matter of fact. ... We drove at night through Tennessee and into Louisiana and arrived very, very early in the morning at the Shreveport Hotel and tried go get some sleep. And I was awakened about maybe 7:30 by hoards of children shouting Elvis's name trying to waking him up. And he finally opened the window in his hotel room and leaned out and said, "Please, let me get some sleep, folks. I'll see you all later." And they quieted down. And I was amazed at that. I never saw anybody control a crowd so effortlessly as he did. Anyway, I was wearing a shirt, a black velour shirt that my wife had given me just before I left to go to Memphis. And Elvis admired the shirt. He said, "Where did you get that?" And I said, "Do you like it?" And he says, "Oh, I like it very much." I said, "I'll give you this one." So we changed shirts. I took my shirt off and gave it to him. He couldn't believe that I had given him that shirt. He was so proud of that black velour shirt. And so I got another shirt and went about our business. When he showed up in Hollywood several weeks later to start rehearsing the show, he was wearing that shirt. And I said to him, "That's a good looking shirt you're wearing there, Elvis. Where did you get that?" He said, "Well, some fan gave it to me!" Anyway, early in the next morning, I went to the Shreveport Fairgrounds where he was to perform that evening. And Bill Black had drove me there. And I picked up a couple of things that I had made notes of and later incorporated into the film itself. What do you think it is about Elvis that keeps fans loving him? Kanter: I think that, first of all, Elvis was a very unique talent. I had completely misjudged him at first. I think most people my age misjudged him. He was uniquely original talent, because he combined all of the best of Black music and all of the best of Country music. And as a result, he was unique. He was just unusual. You can't forget him. Once you are exposed to his music, it's very hard to forget the man himself. I found his music was unique, unique and original. He was an original man, even though a lot of his originality is eclectic because he took from here and took from this and took from this that. I don't think that he was aware of the fact that it was taken from other people. It was something inborn, something so genuinely lyrical about the man that once you hear him and once you pay attention to him, you're not going to forget him. And I think that also here's a good actor. And I think that given time and given better scripts and more retention and less reliance on money and on lyrics and on singing, he could have been a superb motion picture actor. He could have done a lot of other things that he was never able to do under the thumbs of Tom Parker. (News, Source;AAP/ElvisInfoNetwork)

One of the highlights of her life was not only meeting Elvis but also being kissed by him, as shown in the famous photo. Last month Janet Fulton contacted EIN regarding some other photos she was tracking down and was kind enough to let us interview her about the experience of meeting Elvis and being a young teenage fan in the fifties. She tells us the experience of being at Elvis' famous Canadian concert in Ottawa "the nuns were saying it was the Devil's work" - and how meeting Elvis was a totally unexpected surprise. http://www.elvisinfonet.com/interview_jane...vis_canada.html (Interviews, Source;ElvisInformationNetwork) Lucky girl :dance:

Ernst Jorgensen on 'Young Man With The Big Beat': More than 55 years have passed since 1956 and Elvis Presley’s pivotal year. The young singer’s dramatic rise is exhaustively chronicled in a new five-CD box set, “Young Man with the Big Beat". For producer Ernst Jorgensen it was a chance to reassert the true size and scope of Elvis’ impact on the world. “He was No. 1 on the singles chart for half of that year,” Jorgensen explains. “This was totally unique, and it changed the record business forever. And I thought that the idea of just picking one year to demonstrate how significant the early success of Elvis Presley was would be a fun task to do. We thought it would be wonderful to tell this story again, because there are so many people out there who have forgotten how big Elvis was.” In 1955 country-music DJs named Presley “Most Promising C&W Artist” and kept his Sun singles in heavy rotation from the beginning. 'Heartbreak Hotel' Elvis’ first RCA single, received enormous benefits as a result. The country DJs — many of whom actually had a sense of ownership in Presley’s success, according to Jorgensen — played the single incessantly, despite the fact that it bears no resemblance to what today is considered country music. “In a broader commercial sense, ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ was a strange record,” Jorgensen said. “It was a No. 1 country hit for 17 weeks Yet the country environment ended up having serious misgivings about Elvis in that Elvis and his music basically stole their audience. Elvis stole the show when he was performing on country shows with Hank Snow and other big names. Nobody wanted to follow Elvis anymore.” GO HERE to the complete Ernst Jorgensen interview on our YMWTBB News page http://www.elvisinfonet.com/young_man_with_the_big_beat.html (News, Source;AAP/ElvisInfoNetwork

Sad news to report :( Patti Parry, Elvis’ “Little sister” has Died: EIN has confirmed the terrible news that Elvis’ good friend Patti Parry passed away this morning in hospital. We have heard that her brother took her to a hospital last night, and that she passed this morning. Patti Parry was a good friend to EIN and was always a joy to be with, full of fun and life and wonderful stories of times spent with Elvis. Patti Parry was one of a small number of girls who hung out with Elvis and the guys for many years in L.A. from the time they were young in the early 60s. When EIN interviewed Patti Parry in 2003 she recalled that when she knew him .. “Elvis didn't have a Mum, he didn't have a sister so I was a girl who was around who could nurture him. He needed that nurturing. I was the only girl there and if he needed it I would give him a lot of help and a shoulder to cry on. I was his Little Sister, I was a very lucky girl. (laughing) They were lucky too!” EIN passes on our deepest sympathies to her family and friends http://www.elvisinfonet.com/parry.html (News, Source;ElvisInfoNetwork) Patty was one of the 'Elvis' people I was lucky enough to meet when I was in Memphis for Elvis Week 2007 and she was a lovely, friendly, bubbly lady so this is sad news :(
