Sweets To Back Elvis ‘Live’ Via The Big Screen
January 06, 2007 | Other
The Sweet Inspirations (Myrna Smith, Estelle Brown and Portia Griffin) are going to back Elvis ‘live’ again, via the big screen on May 5th on invitation by Essential Elvis. The British fanclub is working on a big screen jam session along the lines of Elvis – The Concert, giving the Sweets the chance to interact and sing with Elvis in a so-called ‘intimate setting’.

Greg, it's more than spooky for several last years... Seems that "Sweets" will sing the background for this Philippine Elvis impersonator "Renelvis" very soon and then they will appear in North Carolina pubs with psychopathic Wade Jones and his polystyrene Elvis Cup model "Charlotte 21.02.77" soon :-)

If the band backing is still on the track surely they can't remove just the Sweets vocals? Essentially that means they will be adding extra vocals to their own original footage. Unless Essential Elvis has been given mastertapes to work with, I think it will only be the Sweet Inspirations doing a live vocal over an existing band soundtrack. They removed all but Elvis's vocals for the touring show so the TCB Band and vocalists could sing along. Still, big screen Elvis and the Sweet Inspirations would be worth seeing.

....I have seen the Sweets, once at the Elvis Concert and once with an Elvis Tribute artist. They are fantastic live......the Elvis tribute artist was a bit creepy! I will definately go to see them again.
