Much like the album from which the song comes, as well as Viva ELVIS by Cirque du Soleil, the sparkling video invokes the spirit and essence of Elvis from a contemporary perspective and re-imagines his performance style in a new setting. Ulysses Jones Died
Ulysses Jones, a battalion chief of the Memphis Fire Department and one of the longest-serving and most respected members of the Tennessee legislature, has died in Memphis at the age of 59 from a collapsed lung, various sources have confirmed.
In 1977, as part of a Fire Department First Response unit, Jones answered an emergency call to the home of Elvis Presley,. One of those who discovered the late entertainer on the floor of his bathroom at Graceland, he participated in emergency resuscitation efforts and transported Presley to the old Baptist Memorial Hospital structure on Union Avenue, where Presley was pronounced dead.
The "Viva Elvis" soundtrack CD was released in the United States. Some of the reviews:
Billboard:
"It's all inventive and invigorating, offering proof that Presley's music can handle being all shook up"
Forbes: 'Viva Elvis – the Album' a multi-faceted audio extravaganza creating a larger-than-life musical portrait of Elvis"
MSN Music: "You've never heard these tunes like this before… ear-popping collages"
Associated Press:
"A new take on the King"… "'Suspicious Minds' opens with Elvis' soulful, echoing voice and prominent piano notes, then shifts into a guitar introduction that evokes memories of U2's classic anthem 'Bad.' The song has a strong drum and guitar component without losing the sing-along quality of the original."
Bloomberg News: "A radical mix of his hits"
Blogcritics:
"And we're off to the races as Viva ELVIS - The Album turns up the heat and the velocity as it dashes through a representative sampling of The King's mastery of genres from Delta blues, gospel and Southern folk to movie soundtracks and Vegas pop"
"You won't be able to help falling in love (with The King) again. Some things were just meant to be!"
Record Collector:
"I loved it. A great mash up of Elvis, early, middle and late in his career. Great fun!"
Virginian-Pilot:
"Elvis for the iPod age."
The track was recently hailed by USA Today as “a cross between a gospel hymn and ‘Everlasting Love’ before transforming into something like a U2 anthem.”
