One of my all-time favourite Elvis songs.
A different edit than the original movie and at last it will be added to the up & coming special TTWII DVD set.
Pure Elvis magic.

Interesting for being a clip for the 1981 Felton Jarvis 'Guitar Man' remix.
A quality video with a painstaking edit to lip-sync the vision from the 68 TV Special.

Elvis' astounding legacy is never ending and his impact is reflected in the fact that Elvis is so often used in today's  Television commercials. The recent resurgence started with the swinging Audi Elvis and was kicked into this new millennium by the Nike World Cup soccer advert - which then helped Elvis hit Number One in the charts. One of the very best was the recent BBC Radio 2 advert with Elvis introducing his band of Superstars. As suggested by John Pietz, EIN presents sixteen TV adverts featuring Elvis. With special thanks to John Pietz.

Great edit of 1972/1973 action capturing the excitement of 'Burning Love' live.
