"Lisa Marie"
Today, I have posted an interview with Lisa Marie, embedded the video of the father (presumably dead) and daughter (definitely alive) re-recording of "In The Ghetto" as well as a link on my iTunes blog. Elvis invented rock. Lisa Marie rocks.

Victor Brox & me at Hilda and Sam's (his son) wedding last week
Victor Brox (born, 19??) is a blues musician from Manchester, England, widely believed to have been described by both Jimi Hendrix and Tina Turner as their favourite white blues singer.
Brox plays a variety of instruments including horns, keyboards and guitar, as well as performing vocals.
Though continuing to perform with the Victor Brox Blues Train, he is most widely known for his performance as Caiaphas on the original recording of Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) and for his collaborations.
He has worked with: Eric Clapton, Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, Charlie Mingus, Memphis Slim, Dr. John, Aynsley Dunbar, Graham Bond, Alexis Korner, John Mayall and Keith Moon.
