The 5th edition of the World Soundtrack Awards, to be held in Gent on October 15, holds a special "Elvis"-surprise. Oscar winner Rachel Portman will be sharing the stage with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the legendary composers for Elvis. The two New York writers will get the full spotlight with the presentation of the Liftetime Achiement Award. Leiber and Stoller are the most important songwriters and producers of the early years of Rock ‘n’ Roll. They were the authors of over 10 million sellers for Elvis, and they wrote music for several Elvis-movies.
