Elvis and The Music On The 32nd Anniversary Of The King's Death |
From The End Comes A New Beginning For Elvis & The Music On The 32nd Anniversary Of The King's Death
After 32 Years Of Silence John Krondes And The Elvis "Hit Making Team" Shocks The World With Anniversary Release Of The End - A New Beginning CD. The Memphis Rock Sound Comes Alive With The First Commerical Release By The Presley "Hit Team" Since 1977
Los Angeles, CA / New York, NY (PRWEB) August 16, 2009 -- Its Official, Elvis Lives! John Krondes and the Elvis "Hit Making Team" took Memphis by surprise this week with the unexpected press conference and announcement of the release of THE END - A New Beginning during Elvis Week. The Media and Fans alike were stunned at the presentation of the first commercial release by the King's music entourage in 32 Years.
With the death of Elvis Presley in 1977 came the death of The "Memphis Sound" and the powerful music making operation that Presley assembled over a twenty year span. Ironically, THE END has become full circle; a New Beginning and Second Chance for the music to play on for Elvis.
Beginning with the beautiful new recording by John Krondes and the Jordanaires of "The End", the special song Elvis Presley sang to his future wife Priscilla Beaulieu in Germany, on the night they met, has now become the new lifeline that has brought his entire Hit Making Machine back to the studio, and thus recreated the "Memphis Sound."
After Ten Years in the making and numerous trips to recording studios all across America, just this week in Presley's hometown at the Peabody Hotel, John Krondes and the King's "Hit Team" unveiled a colossal CD of new music, with eerie similarities to the lost Presley style, and left cause for celebration for the return of the distinct Memphis Sound.
Following the 32nd Anniversary of Elvis Presley's death on August 16, 2009, next week will commence the shipping to radio stations, and other media worldwide of the epochal CD THE END - A New Beginning. The new release includes virtually anyone and everyone that played with Elvis. Joining John Krondes and the "Hit Team" in song are the American Studios Band - the "Memphis Boys" and the TCB Band. All of the Presley backing vocal groups add harmony to the new recordings, the roster includes: the Jordanaires, the Former Original Stamps, Imperials and Sweet Inspirations. The King's Star Drummers DJ Fontana, Gene Chrisman and Ronnie Tutt keep the beat along with the original Elvis Horn Section, and numerous other composers, arrangers and players that accompanied the King and helped create the celebrated Memphis Sound.
