In 1969 Elvis Presley
returned to Memphis to
record his first
hometown session in 13
years. He returned to
Memphis with renewed
focus and ambition
sparked by his wildly
successful TV comeback
special the previous
month. In just two
weeks of sessions he
made some of the most
memorable and
artistically
satisfying music of
his career.
This burst of
inspired creativity
resulted in the
critically acclaimed
album
From Elvis In Memphis
and its companion
Back In Memphis.
"Suspicious Minds,"
"In The Ghetto,"
"Don't Cry Daddy" and
"Kentucky Rain" were
among the
unforgettable hits
that resulted. This
40th anniversary
Legacy Edition
contains every track
from the sessions
recorded at American
Studios in Memphis in
January and February
of 1969.

4 months ago - says she and husband Michael Lockwood have struggled to adjust to the new additions to their family.
She revealed: "When we brought the babies home it was a complete and utter shock.
Everything is so freaky. Are they breathing? Are they OK? They're so
fragile"
Lisa Marie who has two teenage children, Riley 19 and Ben 16, from a previous marriage to Danny Keough
says the twins are already displaying different personalities, labeling Finley "full of p**s and vinegar.... Finley is a clone of me and Harper is a
