A cool new commercial for Brazil's leading fashion retailer C&A features the King of Rock 'n' Roll himself! Using new technology, the TV ad shows Elvis Presley performing at a party and flirting with some very lovely ladies. The commercial is airing now in Brazil.

Way to go! Outstanding this modern technology. Maybe a new way to promote his Unique Catalogue through great clips. Better than all those remix j*nk.

Good remark and suggestion Natha! Would even be better if Elvis voice should (could) be used, but I'm afraid EPE would not allow this,unless the makers of the clips would be prepared to pay a serious amount of money. Always El.

Fun commericial, using movie Clips, from the Elvis Presley Movie "Spinout". Putting Elvis in Commericals and such keeps Elvis "current" for new Generations. And, If it's done respectful and classy, I'm all for it ! I too, wish they had, used Elvis Presley's recording, of "Fever", instead of a guy, impersonating Elvis vocal style. Somehow its cheaper for a company to get a movie (video) clip to use, than a audio recording. Go figure? Elvis Forever !

Indeed, Benny, they would have to pay so much money that they would never capitalize on it by the sales. EPE should consider it though. It is better advertisement than the garbage they allow. It doesn't cease to amaze me that Elvis is used so often in commercials. He is truly part and parcel of western culture.
