Elvis A Paris

June 19, 2009 | Music

The French fanclub ‘My Happiness’ released a unique promo CD to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Elvis’ visit to Paris. On the CD, you’ll find a few tracks from Elvis, added with songs from Nancy Holloway and The Golden Gate Quartet. Elvis saw them live during a concert in the ‘Casino De Paris’. After the show, he went backstage and they had a jam session for several hours. It is remarkable to hear the arrangements for ‘Swing Down Sweet Chariot’ and ‘Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho’ that can be heared on this CD are exactly the same as Elvis recorded them later on. The source of his inspiration can be heard on this disc.

The CD also contains a ‘CD Plus’ track’; if you put the disc in our computer (not available on regular DVD players), you can see a short docu about Elvis’ visit to Paris with rare film footage in Black and White and color.

HiHeelStella : you don't hear Elvis singing WITH TGGQ. Re-read carefully the article :is says clearly :"on the cd you'll find a few tracks from Elvis, added with some songs FROM Nancy Hololway and (also) The Golden Gate Quartet "( and thus not WITH Nancy or TGGQ ). Always El.
